what to do here.. pics

[worz]

Hi all, hope you can help here...

A good friend of mine is renovating his bathroom, he has stripped the tiles off (adhesive will also be scraped off) the wall, ideally it needs to be plastered then painted..

I've done a fair bit of boarding now, and plastering at my house but it's always been onto wooden studs, so if we was to board onto this wall which is breeze block, but over the existing board what would be the best way

Or, would you bond coat the wall then skim? if so, is this a PVA & Skim job after bonding?

Thanks in advance

Tell him your no longer pricing bathrooms as you've got past the point of working around stale piss and pubes on the floor. Or get an apprentice and let them do it

I hate using bonding in bathrooms, but yes bond it out then skim it as it says above and don't forget to collect your money on the way out

prefer to board as the wall is crappy, crumbling etc.. is it ok to dot and dab board onto it?

Strip it all out and dab away

Well the dabs are only stuck to crumbling walls ?

If you do risk dabbing it put some mech fixings in but it'll be exactly that, a risk.

Bear in mind any walls that are being tiled will have to take the weight of the tiles.

Also un skimmed plasterboard holds more tile weight than a skimmed plasterboard
