billyo Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Hi all,Does anyone know (or have experience of) if you can stick plasterboard onto old tiles in a bathroom, they are in relativly good nick and unfortunatly very well stuck.Billyo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maude Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Yes we have.Used insulated plasterboard,with the plaster type adhesive mix.Old tiles were "nailed" onto the thin clay insulating bricks-trying to remove them(I tried) just resulted in large holes and would have benn a rebuild.Very successfull after 3 years.

Charlotte3 Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Hi Billyo, Sand off the tiles and then use "mapp" to stick plasterboard to the tiles. Support them while the mapp is drying, and bingo, new wall!Aly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montagrier Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 You really must break the gloss of the tiles.... I dont know weather sanding them off works...but we always break away tiles in the right places so that there is a good grip there.... Mortier adhesive is very strong and we use it for loads of other things but the surface must be hard, dry and have a fair key.monti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
