Ask your QuestionMy bathroom has walls with artex. Can I plasterboard over the artex walls and then apply wall paper/plaster or even paint?
Asked by Huios on 19th Jun 2020"Yes you can plaster over the ceiling as long as as this evening it's dry and solid and no cracks or any broken joint job can be done.
Thanks"
"If it’s in bathroom I’d take the plaster off and then stick your boards to wall making sure you seal the wall but yes you can stick it over the artex if you seal it the same"

Answered on 10th Jul 2020 - Member since Mar 2019 - report"This is my technique. And its works for me:
First of all apply 2 good coats of PVA and depending on the type of paint on the ceilings and walls some sand mixed with the PVA will make for a good key on the surface, 2 coats of multi finish will give a nice smooth flat surface."
"Please read section Health Risks https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artex
If it was applied after the mid 80s, there is no problem in removing, scraping or drilling over it.
If you suspect it's from before mid 80s, you can just glue plasterboard over it and then decorate."
