Hi i have just started to re-tile the kitchen, i have ripped the old tiles off but the plaster behind the tills has come off in places, has anyone any ideas on what to do? do i just tile over or do i have to do something to the wall first, i heard something about PVA glue?!?!
thanks

Probly the one case where a quick wipe with polyskim, or whatever its
called these days, will net you a better tiling surface..its cheaper
than thick tile cement.

I've tiled onto raw board and plater without special prep..best adhesive
to date is Evostik waterproof.

Bal grout is my fave on wide grouted joints. (4mm plus) any old ****
will do 2-3mm.

You ought to even up the surface with plaster (one-coat if the holes
are deep) or tile cement first, 'else you'll have trouble getting the
tiles flat.
