Plastering over tiles

[spunky]

I’ve done it before with gypbond is this an actual method ?
Guy needs a job doing his other walls were hacked off previously and nearly fell over after hacking off
Just thinking gypbond mesh bonding and skim over tiles it’s a bathroom is he still better off hacking them off or do you think this would be ok x

Ive done it before with Wickes bonding agent and skimmed over as the tiles were stuck on with cement .
If they are stuck on with tile adhesive fetch them off

Why hollybank?

Bonding on tiles in a bathroom even with bond-it or any other pre-grit wouldn't be my choice. I'd knock off the tiles and dubb out with hardwall or S&C and skim and charge accordingly.

It’s a very old building lath and plaster etc and the tiles look like something youre nan used so I doubt it’s be any modern adhesives

 

[spunky]

thanks for you’re fantastic input Paul where would I be we without you

Why can’t you go over tiles with gypbond that’s what I’m asking mainly

Taking tiles off that are set with cement is a ball ache and an instant wall wrecker.
Mind you any tile on lath is going to wreck it.

It's not that you can't, I wouldn’t use thistle bonding in a wet area, skim on it's own would probably be ok.
I'm sure bond-it was advertised as being appropriate for skimming over tiles.

Why what?

Give them a good wipe over before applying the wba
As long as the skim ain’t been tiled over.

Not as bad as trying to take them off a paramount wall.

Best primer to go over tiles is Mapei Eco Prim Grip plus. Dries really quick and east to apply.https://youtu.be/PKU1mPXY97A?si=aevT46_em_O-K_sv

Bond it is spec’d to go over tiles provided that they are cleaned properly first. Might be worth mentioning that if they tile on top it might fail from behind the original tiles

If you go on you tube it shows you can render on it. I used it to tile over tile with big tiles on my own bathroom. Best bonding agent by far.
