View Full Version : Tiling over old curved floors

My 1970's built house requires retiling in all wet areas. The floor in the laundry is moulded cement type product which has some curved gradient for the waste water to flow towards the drain hole in the floor.

The floor is tiled with smaller 50mm x 25mm tiles making laying easy with the curviture of the floor.

With the larger 200mm square tile this cannot be acheived.

Is there any product on the market which is used as a filler to acheive a level surface on which to lay the new tiles :confused: :confused:.

I would like to tile my loo, laundry and bathroom walls up to 1200mm. My walls are painted, with white set gypsum plaster which is coated over the rendered walls at the moment.

When preparing for the wall for tiling do I remove the plaster to reveal the brick render underneath and then bog up with something to the level of the existing plaster above 1200mm or leave it ?.

If I do remove the plaster what do I bog up with ??
