Hi
In the process of wall tiling my bathroom. Have removed old tiles which has revealed a combination of wall surfaces. Skim plaster on sand cement render to two walls, plasterboard proprietary wall system from the 1960’s to two walls and chipboard on stud infilling an old doorway.
Gonna replace chipboard with wbp ply or plasterboard, and tank plasterboard walls (where bath will be located).
Query is my local tile shop recommended BAL ready mixed for all surfaces, which I bought, but now nervous of using on plaster and plywood. Applied adhesive to one of the plaster walls which is very smooth (previous owner had put pva on walls so I sanded off) and adhesive wouldn’t adhere. Advised to use primer to improve adhesion but concerned will still fail. Don’t want to re do in 6 months time.
Would welcome any advice on this. Cheers.
PS Using ceramic tiles 330 x 250.
