Hi All,
I have just finished plasterboarding my downstairs bathroom and I am now looking towards skimming and tiling.
A friend of mine is a bathroom fitter so he is going to help me with the tiling.
Before doing that though I need to get the ceiling skimmed, not really sure if it is needed but I would rather skim it if there is a chance of seeing the joins in the ceiling if I don't.
The bathroom is only small so I think I would struggle to get a plasterer in to do such a small job. For this reason I am going to give it a shot myself.
I have been reading up/watching vids on skimming but most of them only cover the actual process of applying the skim. I am looking for info on the prep work to be done before starting and the tools needed for the job before I attempt it.
Any info is gratefully received!
Thanks
