Hi guys,
I have the plasterer in at the moment and am planning to fit the new bathroom in the next couple of weeks. The walls are back to brick and he is doing the wet sand cement render and then multifinish through the rest of the house. Am I okay to ask him to only apply the wet coat render in the bathroom for now? Can I tile straight onto this? I would have thought this would be a better grip than tiling on to smooth skim, which would only be covered by tiles and units anyway. Is it okay to fit the cupboard units so that it will only be the render behind them and again I will tile above these.
On the wall that I plan to tile half way, I thought it would be best if I tiled all but my last line of tiles and then ask the plasterer to multifinish the top tapering it thin to just below the top of the last tile line.
He seemed happy with this, but then he seems happy with anything? But would really appreciate your advice, as I'm going to fit the bathroom myself. Really just concerned about whether the render (without skim) is okay behind the units and behind tiles?
Thanks
