Good quality plaster is the perfect surface for applying ceramic wall tiles.

However, it is essential to ensure that your plasterwork is dry, smooth and level. Undulations in the plaster will really stand out when using glazed ceramic tiles.

If you have any damp or crumbling plaster it is crucial to rectify this before you begin applying tiles to the wall.

Tiling over plasterboard is just as easy so long as there are no ridges or gaps between panels. Plasterboard located around baths and showers needs to be sealed by using drywall topcoat - two coats should suffice.
