Walls Plasrered Before Tiling - Not - Tile Advice

[Sean Kelly]

This bathroom was tiled 2 years ago. Water has been leaking into the kitchen for the past 6 months. Customer said it was re plastered before tiling but as you can see it wasn't.
The wooden window cills were left in and tiled over.
Ive just spoken to a plasterer on phone and he says 250 plus mats (£300 total). WHAT!! This cant be right?

I'm going to replace cills with plasterboard.

Any other suggestions please.

If you were going floor to ceiling with the tiles I would D&D plasterboard to all of the walls.....flat,dry smooth walls.
3/4's of a day, so say a day + materials so not far away from your £300

Customer ringing around for a plasterer now.

I removed the widow sills and now have to build them up again by approx 50mm. Can I just use 4 lengths of plasterboard 12.5?

As wrighty says, dot dab those walls & they should be nice & flat to tile to & save the hassle of waiting on plaster drying & probably not very flat.

Unfortunately bath, taps, shower and shower screen are already in situ. Bringing out the walls any further would not work in this scenario. cheers.

If it gets plastered you will have to wait for it to dry......hope there not in a hurry.

I would get yourself some 6mm Hardi-backer and glue/mechanically fix them with screws to those walls, no waiting time and very solid walls although a bit time consuming initially, that's how I would tackle it, if thickness is not a problem then use 12mm screwed into brick/blockwork and skim with rapid tile adhesive to take any curves out in both scenarios.

Walls crumbling all over the place. Owner got it plastered today for £260. I did some prep work yesterday plus a few other bits around the house. I lose 1 day but hey ho. Started drinking Theakstons old peculiar a bit early today!

No not this time. I've hacked off all the blown plaster and reboarded the window sills. Plasterer hopefully came in today to work his magic.

I don't go anywhere near new skim for 2 weeks, poor customers would be waiting a while for me. On the plus side though I agree, could drink a healthy amount of Old Peculiar in that time.
