Hi,
We recently moved into a new place and decided that a new bathroom suite is needed. The tiles and grouting (floor to ceiling) are in pristine condition so we opted to keep these. I ripped out the toilet followed by the sink. I carefully removed two rows of tiles (chisel job) from around the top of the bath as this is where I would be putting mosaic effect tiles. Then I pulled out the bath. Unfortunately the plaster behind the bath is basically rubble and most of it has fallen off and it is down to the brickwork - an area of about 6ft * 3ft
I can’t seem to get a plasterer who will come round for such a small job so I’m wondering whether I can plasterboard that area?
If yes, should I attach a couple of battens and fix the board on top or do I need to ‘dot n dab’ the plasterboard before tiling on top??
What kind of plasterboard should I be using?
Thanks,
Nagsy
