Hello,
Planning on tiling my bathroom walls and have a query.
It was treated for damp, Plaster/render stripped, DPC injected and waterproofed sand cement render applied to the lower 1m of the wall.
We now have a mix of bare sand cement render that im told is the best to tile onto and the remainder of the room has old skim coat, very well adhered to the under lying render.
There is some minor variations in the sand cement, +/-2 or 3mm and then a bigger "step" to where the old skim is maybe 4mm.
Is this likely to cause issues or within tolerance?
Would it be worth smoothing the transitions with some tile adhesive or plaster before tiling? Other plan i had in mind was to use 10mm notch on the lower part then 6mm notch on the higher part to give the correct height?
Any value in use the wedge things to level the tiles?
Stripping the old skim off will take ages, ive tried and its well on there, easier to hack off the underlying render!
Cheers for any info.
Neil
