Another day another question. No flame wars this time hopefully :RpS_w00t:
So I was talking to a friend of a friend today and he asked me if I could do his Bathroom and living room, of course I directed him to contact a fully trained plasterer rather than myself (mentioned CT Plastering fyi if you get a phone call)
But one of the questions was plastering over Tiles. I said well just rip them down, its no big job and the wall behind is easy sorted then skim over the top. He was very insistent on just wanting the tiles covered over in plaster. So I immediately thought there is going to be a real suction problem there, a lack of it. I guess you could bond over it and attempt to get a decent grip on the wall then finish over it.
But I've just got a feeling it would be a bad job and the customer would need persuaded to get the tiles off the wall.
Am I off the mark here?
