Tiling onto newly painted walls

alprod · 17 Mar 2008

Hi,

I will be tiling my bathroom for the first time this weekend. It is a newly refurbished house with new plasterboards painted with flat magnolia. I know i have to sand the paint down but how far do i take it down and what is the best way to do this? Do i just sand over it lightly or do i take all paint of and risk damaging the plasterboard?

I have a drill and an angle grinder so could buy disks to use with them if that is the best way.

Im really looking for advice on the best way to do this, any help will be most appreciated.

Thanks

Al
