Fitting and design
Plaster finish or boarded finish above the tiles
How this is actually built
- 1
Skim over sound plaster gives a seamless finish but needs drying time and a moisture-tolerant paint system.
- 2
Moisture-resistant board with a skim is more predictable where the existing plaster is blown or patched.
Questions to ask any fitter

Where this fits with our work
Your questions answered
What paint should be used?
A bathroom-grade paint with mould resistance, applied after the wall has properly dried.
Can I tile part height only?
Yes, full height in the wet zone, part height elsewhere is a common and sensible split.
Rather speak to someone than fill in a form?
Ring during the working day and you will get an answer from the person who would be on site, not a call centre.
