squaring up the walls

[MikeMaMan]

Hi guys. I am on my first bathroom project. My walls are thermalite blocks and one wall is a brick wall. Tiles will be 600*300 10mm thick porcelain. Brick wall not exactly flat (deeps up to 10mm here and there), but overall level is not too bad. So i have two questions.
1. Should I render it with sand and cement or just use more adhesive?
2. I use dab n dot where i can, but i got to this corner where the walls are out of square by 45mm. Brick wall is parallel to the other wall, so i need to fix block wall. What would you guys recommend? I think of having plaster board on it before tiling. But can i dab n dot 45mm?

Dot and dab for speed or batten and cement board if shower is going there

I wouldn't use sand cement


Dab or fix to battens some hardibacker/aquapanel type stuff (water proof board)

You can tile onto it....no skim required

 

[The Hobo]

fix it grout it and fck it

 

[MikeMaMan]

So if i make a wooden frame in the deep areas and fix hardiebacker where bath is and the rest will be plasterboard with dab and dot, will this be good move?
Should i sand/cement brick wall as well or just leave it as it is and tile straight onto it?

 

[martinemj]

If you can't dab or fix board to the brick wall then yes render it first...
Can't easily tile onto brick ...

Have you guys see any of these in UK? https://images.app.goo.gl/f9cX3E9HP2FSLiJa9 They go on the wall as a guide rail to make plastering/rendering easy. https://images.app.goo.gl/gTtmYEwjdhTF4W4T7

 

[Bricktop]

Use gypliner

Use gypliner

Good idea. I might use it where I have enough depth.

Do you have a link where to buy them in UK? I have tried to use standard mesh angle bead, by flattening it. But the result was s**t . Will do in my case. But I was unable to achieve plumb line. Maybe need a glue/filler (gyp 20 I used) behind all rail and not just patches like I had.
