Hello.
Renovating a bathroom in a house from 1953 and removed old tiles. The original was just a plastered surface with paint that was tiled over in the 90s.
When I tore down the tiles, the plaster came off with them. Can I just fill this in or does all the plaster need to come off and the surface be replastered?
I'm considering a light plastering and then installing gypsum and tiling on top, or tiling on the new plaster.
Of course, after the waterproofing layer.
Best regards, Olof.

The easiest way is probably to attach plaster with adhesive, it's difficult to smooth it out to be even. Otherwise, you can of course knock everything down and smooth it evenly. If the brick wall is a chimney, it's doubtful whether it's allowed to attach plaster for fire inspection reasons.
Thanks for the response. There's a kitchen on the other side, so no chimney. However, I assume I should apply some gypsum or mortar to make it a bit smoother so the adhesive sticks behind the moisture-resistant gypsum board?
