Uneven wall next step - TilersForums.com

[Bill]

If it is a cloakroom type toilet then the light switch can stay.

If the tiles are ceramic, then you could skim over this plaster with finish plaster.

If the tiles are porcelain, I would hack off the plaster and dot and dab plasterboard on to the wall. No need to plaster skim the plasterboard that needs tiling.

Thanks everyone.

Dot and dab? Ok will ask the plasterer

I have much the same type of wall elsewhere and I really need a second opinion

At 1st the installer mentioned bonding and then bonding and skimming. The plasterer then says plastering is better then goes on to say he wil do bonding and cement. It’s really getting confusing as I don’t know which is which and which is better.

This is for a bathroom with shower with big tiles 60x60 on the walls. Also the shower accessories is going to be embedded.

Pls help. What’s the best to use to get the best wall for tiling all I described up there?

Thank you very much

Attached is the state of these walls

Best job all round for the tiles mentioned would be to take every thing out strip of all the render and dry line. Nice flat surfaces and all able to take the weight of the tile.
Skimming over what you have there will leave you with a new smooth wall that won't be flat or able to support the weight of the tile.

Dry line?

And you are unable to tile on bonding & cement.

While your at it, a mechanical extractor might help deal with the black spotted mould growth on the ceiling and if you have a roof void above, additional insulation will also help.

Really?

I wonder why that was the final solution of the plasterer. Hmmmm

Pls help as he is asking for £250 but i need to know he is using the right material

Backing coat plaster should be browning or bonding, the a finish coat plaster on top. Cement is not compatible over gypsum plaster.

Thanks.

Will that be the multi function bond he is talking about?
