After removing the old sanitaryware, and because the original plaster was in poor condition, we cleaned off our bathroom walls as best we could and employed someone to overboard and skim them. He was aggressive, did a very poor job on the separate loo we had asked him to wet plaster, caused secondary damage during the job, and has since disappeared. Hopefully someone has taken their revenge on him!
My concern now, especially as my wife has her heart set on some beautiful and rather heavy 90 x 30 tiles, is what sort of job he may have done in bonding the panels to the wall, and even if that is up to the job, will the plaster skim take the weight?
I realise there is unlikely to be any non-destructive test in this situation, but professional tilers must face a similar dilemma from time to time and am hoping to get some advice here. I don't want the wall to fall on the plumber, I have enough problems without that
