I want to tile the bathroom. It was originally painted with a vynal
emulsion of some kind. I notice that it seems a little fragile in some
places and comes of without too much sanding. What is the best
approach, strip it all?

It is laid directly on the plaster and if as I fear it will have to be
completely removed what is the best option?

scrape off what's loose, then score the rest with a stanley knife in
a criss cross pattern through remaining paint to allow the tile
adhesive a chance to stick to something (plaster?) under the paint.
The more criss crosses you get in a given area will mean the tile
adhesive can stick better....
