Hi, I am going to tile my sons bathroom where most of the the skim plaster has come off when removing the few tiles there were and the rest of the bathroom is covered in artex, which is quite old and probably contains asbestos. Under the plaster is a very absorbent soft plaster, I asusme this could be browning but not sure. I was thinking the easiest and quickest way to deal with this is to simply board it out with 6mm cement board and mechanically fix it to the walls, asking the plumber to allow for this when fixing the new bath etc. Any thoughts or better solutions would be gratefully received. Thanks.
