Sorry, this may be a very naive question but I don't know the difference between plastering and plaster boarding.My house is very old(circa 1895). One wall is boarded by previous owners and other walls have old type of plaster. Don't know if it is masonry or lathe. There are no visible cracks but it is not smooth.
The bathroom company I talked to(national chain) says we will need plaster boarding and skimming and is going to cost £1000s... for a 3.5 x 2.7 room with total installation cost of £5000+ (labour only, products separate)
Other individual fitter I spoke to says we need only skimming no need to plasterboard. No tiling because we will use a shower cabin (covered top e.g. insignia) and the freestanding bath(without shower) will be 90cm away from wall. Fooring will be sheet vinyl supplied by us. We will relocate wc, wash basin and bath tub(90 cm away from current location), to be fair.
Will someone kindly advice if I need plastering, plaster boarding, skimming and/or all of them?
Many Thanks, HL.house.
