Default Surfaces for tiling...

Hi

I'm in the process of refitting my bathroom and am seeking some tiling
advice.

Three of the walls have new unskimmed plasterboard, and the fourth wall
is made of ply (it conceals pipework and a cistern for the wall hung
WC).

Is it OK to tile directly onto these surfaces?


Yes.


If so, what preparation
is recommended.


None at all.

Finally, could someone suggest the best tile adhesive
to use?


I have found evostik waterproof to be convenient fast grabbing and
pretty easy to use.

Try and make the grout waterproof as well.. I use BAL grout and an
additive..looks like PVA to me - anyway that works well.


Many thanks,

Steve
