Plastering & Rendering
Paper Surface Taken off Plaster board
Anonymous user 3 March 2024 - 2.37 PM
Hello, We have just removed all of our kitchen tiles, to find that they had been put directly on plasterboard. We haven't put any holes in the plasterboard when we removed the tiles, but in some areas the top layer of paper has come off the board We know the kitchen is going to need replastering/ skimming, but will we need to replace the plasterboard first? Thanks, Dani

All you need to do is unibond and skim. This is a common problem when removing tiles you are lucky they didnt do more damage to the boards.
