Browning/bonding or other??!

[aaron1987]

I have just taken all of tiles off in my bathroom and I am left with adhesive, and holes all over!!
My plan was to knock adhesive and all old plaster back to breeze block wall.
I am then wondering what is best way to replanted. Should I use browning and then skim? Or bonding?
Or is there a way that I can just knock off most of adhesive and then apply a thin coat of 'something' to fill holes and give semi smooth surface before I reskim?
Any ideas to help me?
Some parts of bathroom are being retiled and others painted so I am not sure if I am best with two methods or one method for both scenarios?

Bonding and browning are no good in a bathroom with all the moisture, skim isnt ideal to tile onto and would need tanking where the shower / bath is. render is your best bet, it's the best thing to tile onto too.

You could get some tile adhesive and spread that over the surface and level it up a bit then you can tile over that ,it will save you a lot of hassle and money....

I'm tiling bottom half if bathroom and painting top half - the top half of plaster is ok (as no tiles previous)
I've decided to plaster board the bottom half after stripping back to breeze and finishing it level or just shy of previous plaster. Then going to patch in/feather in to old plaster and tile straight into board.
Any objections?? Are my tiles just going to fall off!

Plasterboard flush and tile direct to board, use tanking around bath / shower.

Excuse my ignorance of terminology!
But what is tanking?

Its a waterproof membrane that protects the board from moisture, When you tile you use waterproof adhesive and grout, which is not actually waterproof in the sense that water cannot penetrate them, what it means is that they will not break down with moisture. Therefore the water from the shower will be absorbed into the grout and the adhesive and damage the plasterboard behind so a tanking membrane is applied to protect the plasterboard. you can get the kits in screwfix and of course most tile outlets.
