CAN YOU PLASTER ON TILES

Asked by parvin from United Kingdom: hi i wanted to redecorate my bathroom and toilet, the thing is its covered in tiles from top to bottom in both rooms. i have tried taking off the tiles but parts of the wall keep breaking and starts crumbling down. is there a way where i can just plaster something on top so i can just make it look like a wall and then just paint on top of it. ive read some comments on how plastering does not work, can you help me please thnx

TileProf says: Hi Parvin, I would say no as well Tiles have a smooth surface and this gives nothing for the new plaster to bond to. If you do knock of some of the old render as well as the Tiles then this just needs to be reaplied when the walls are clear of Tiles. Regards Russell at Tile Doctor
