Crumbling Soft Plaster & Tiling??

[Sledgehammer36]

okay done a bit of tiling in the bathroom and on one of the walls the plaster is very soft and the tiles have just fallen off.. could someone please help me, is there something i can put on the wall? the rest of the wall/walls seem okay the tiles have stuck fast. its just this small area its as if the adhesive has not dried properly.

hi,take off any plaster in the troubled area and put on fresh browning,let it dry,seal it and let dry then retile.

Seal it with PVA?

 

[MHTILER]

yes,or tilers primer,very similar just add cement for rough texture.

does it have to be re-browned, or can i scratch into the plaster that is there and then use this tiling primer?. i was going to give it a thin layer of poyl filler as it is such a small area. although i need to find out how many of the other tiles around it are loose as well.

it's in the bathroom, so can that part of the wall be wet e.g. from a leaking pipe, oversplash or water spray, or bad condensation?

No it will totally be covered in tiles. its the wall furthest from the taps near the door to the bathroom.
