I’ve plastered over tiles before and it has been fine but personally I would advise to remove tiles, make good and skim. Ultimately i think it makes a better job. If you do end up plastering over the tiles make sure they are thoroughly cleaned and free of grease etc before applying the pre-grit.
Too true, I remember my old boss’s attitude and arrogance. He’s retired now and still moaning :LOL: I’m my own worst enemy doing too much on my own without a labourer and absolutely killing it. My back, elbow, shoulder and knees starting to give me niggly problems. I thought I’d last for ever...
Think your right mate. Thought I’d spend out on some new trowels and experiment a little with a few things on the market.
