If anyone can respond before I commit:
I am redoing a half tiled wall.
The original wall had the lower half rendered and then tiles were fixed with big dabs of mortar. The upper half was skimmed with plaster. The tiles were proud of the plaster.
At a later date the upper plaster was skimmed again to bring it level with the lower tiles, and the whole lot was tiled over floor to ceiling.
I have cleared back to the original render (lower half) and plaster (upper half).
I intend to tile floor to ceiling.
My quandary is now if I should skim the lower half to match the upper half before tiling, or if I can make up the few millimetres with a thicker layer of tile adhesive.
With tile cement at £25 for a bucket, the plaster could work out a lot cheaper, but I will have to wait for the plaster to cure before I tile, and I need to get this done this weekend.
Anyone else solved this problem recently?
TIA
