Gloss pain on bathroom wall - remove with flap disc

[benjiman]

Hi All,.

Refurbing a flat. Bathroom walls have been painted with green gloss paint.

I want to tile the walls. Ive read that it needs to be removed so tiles can key to plaster.

So went at it with an angle grinder with a flap disc attached. See pics of how much Ive take off so far. Is it enough or do I need to get every last bit off? Its very dusty work as soon as the disc hits the skim coat!

What should I prep wall with before tiling?

Thanks

What you've done is fine, what a flap disk wont remove isn't going to be loose. Use a coat of Mapei Primer G or similar and then tile. Use a tanking solution in any wet areas. Or, if you want a quick turnaround you could use tile effect wall panel and affix with silicone or dow instastick.
