Hi,
We would like to convert one of our rooms into a bathroom. I've had a few tradesmen round to take a look and offer quotes etc. It's all very doable with no unforeseen nasties (as of yet). The stack pipe and water services are all easily routable.
Naturally I would like to keep the costs down as much as I can. Currently the walls have plaster on them which has blown in a few places and is quite uneven. Would it be OK to fix drywall to this surface ready for tiling or (and this would be my preferred option) should I take the walls back to brick and fix drywall to that instead? Giving me a nice even surface and making me feel a little better about what's behind the walls when it's all done.
Thanks in advance for the advice.
David
