Back to sand/cement what next?
Anonymous user 03/03/2024 - 3.10 PM
Hi all. I'm currently redoing our utility room in our basement. We live in a 1800 stone cottage. The room was fully tiled before - whole walls & floor. I've taken off the tiles and most of the plaster has come off with them so not back to the sand/cement finish onto of the stone. Sand/cement doesn't look too bad apart from one place that looks to be coming loose. Whats the best way to move forward? I'd ideally like to tile 3 walls and have one wall plastered. Can I just pva the walls and tile directly onto the sand/cement? Or should I get the walls boarded and plastered ? Many thanks for your help. Iain
