I have read several threads where it is not recommended to tile over ply walls. I have only recently started my business after many years diy-ing and, although I am pleased with interest and work so far, I don't like to turn anything down at this stage. A friend of a friend has developed/extended his house and asked me to quote for 2floors and one 16sqm bathroom wall job. However, the bathroom walls are 50/50 backerboard and ply. The ply is machine nailed and I know the owner will not remove it all and replace with backerboard or plasterboard. The wall over the bath is ply and has a little deflection at one join. Would overboarding this wall with backerboard work, ensuring it is well screwed into all possible support noggins and also to the
ply at 200mm intervals?
One of the other walls is rock-solid but is slightly out of level with a 2-4mm hollow a one point. Would it be ok to build it up with rapidset and should I prime it first?
All suggestions of alternatives to ripping it all out and replacing with pb or bb very welcome.............
