had bathroom newly plastered, looks great, left it five weeks to dry out but now ready to tile and paint!!!

I know i need to treat bath area what can anyone recommend to use PVA what mixture 1-5 is that 1 part pva 1part water or cheap paint?????
Also should I put up shower screen first then tile up to it????

Hi, look in projects under
"PREPARING TO PAINTING NEW PLASTER PROJECT" https://www.diydoctor.org.uk/projects/pa ... laster.htm
I'd suggest that you didn't PVA walls prior to tiling as it has an effect that sometimes the tile adhesive fails. If your shower screen is where the tiling ends, mark out. tile up until the last column to where screen will be fixed then fix screen and then fix last few tiles.

Thanks for the advice, tiling all done and shower scheen up, looks pretty good!!!

working with Travertine tiles is hard work but worth it!!!!!

Happy to help and pleased your bathroom is coming along.
