I woulnd't recomend it in a bathroom due to the mositure and humidity, but
before I remodeled my kitchen there was tile on the old plaster. I guess it
held up well cause I was hell to remove.

I am tiling my shower/tub. The walls are plaster and are in good shape
except for a small area under the faucet where the wall meets the tub.
Is it OK to repair the damage area with backer board and then tile the
wall? I would rather not tear out the whole wall if it is ok to tile
over plaster. What was done before backer board? The previous covering
was a fake formica type. Anyone with experience doing this? Any help
would be appreciated.
