Replaster of a property

    I am having my property replastered.

    I was going to install a new bathroom with tiling once the replaster was done.

    The bathroom only leans onto one wall that will be replastered.

    Would it make sense to get the bathroom done prior to doing the replaster on this room.

    My concern is putting in the new bathroom suite after the replaster has been done, could damage the newly plastered wall.

    I may be making a mountain out of a molehill. But thought best to ask.

    Cheers

    Plaster first, bathroom second.

    It's fine Mike. The only exception maybe if you need to chase pipe work into wall or get access into a studwall to run pipes.

    Just be careful what tiles you go with as plaster skim isn't the best surface for heavy large format tiles.

    The bathroom being tiled, not being plastered.

    Just making sure this is clear as my post could be bit confusing.

    My friend said installing bath and tiles lot of banging. So if you have a newly replastered wall the other side of the tiled bathroom wall, it could damage the replastered wall.

    I thought that not true, but thought I would check.

    Cheers

    To be fair it could cause damage if a lot of banging is taking place....has happened to me on a job once....only once though but it can occur.

    Was stripping the tiles off a kitchen wall with an SDS chisel and a few tiles fell off on the bathroom wall on the other side :eek::eek::eek::eek::confused::confused::confused::)

    Thanks, hopefully I will be ok.

    The bathroom wall on that side will have the bathroom attached to it.

    But a brick wall is in the way.

    Do the dirty and heavy bathroom preparation work first before plastering the other room - such as removing old tiles, cutting any pipe chases or drainage.
