I have a Bathroom and a wet room that I am refurbishing.

I am down to the old Plasterwork and and down to the "bonding" coat on
another, after removing the tiles etc.

I am going to tile from floor to cieling in both rooms and would need some
guidance on how to prepare the walls. The Tiler is asking me to
Plaster/Skim throughout using standard PVA and then skim over? I want to
ensure the tiles fit perfectly as well as give me some good water proofness.


Don't worry about waterproofing in tiled walls. You don't need it.

To be honest, its often easier to plasterbaord walls that are to be
tiled - flat suraface immediately

Otherwise use battens and a level to set up a 'frame' that you can
plaster to..suface finish is not critical on tiles - but flatness
is..and use just bonding plaster leveled off to the battens. Remove the
battens and fill the gaps.

Ive never found sealing to be necessary, but slapping thinned PVA on
will do no harm.


What products should I buy for the Plasterer. Plasterer is open to
suggestions he says just buy plaster from the B&Q or Wickes?

Any guidance? and where I can buy these with free and quick delivery? I
would prrbably need about 5 bags and some PVA?

Thanks
