Hi. I've just taken the tiles up from a bathroom floor. Some parts (under the old bath) were never tiled and the "concrete" floor is nice and smooth. The rest is covered in adhesive. Example of both here:
There are also a few patches of damage where tiles pulled up some of the floor:
I'm currently looking at putting vinyl tiles down, so on top of ply (4 or 6mm, right?).
This room passes into a hallway with the same tiles that were on this floor, so I have about a tile's depth to play with and hopefully not end up with much of a step between the rooms. When laying ply, how important is it that all the adhesive is removed first? Do I need to bother at all? It seems like a hell of a job.
And, to fill up small holes as shown above, must I use some particular kind of compound or could I get away with anything like some kind of plaster or plasterboard adhesive? Will they be completely unsuitable for small repairs to floor?
Thanks
