Make sure you remove all the lose plaster then give it a wash of one part PVA to 5 parts water. Let that dry overnight then give it a coat of four parts PVA to one part water and, whilst that is still tacky, skim over with multi finish plaster. Make sure you get the wall absolutely flat, large tiles are completely unforgiving of any out of true.

Alternatively, if you are going to tile the whole wall and your plastering skills are not perfect, you could glue a tile backing board to the wall.

If I pva first would it be ok to skim coat before re-tiling? Am bit concerned as the tiles we have brought are quite large and dont want then falling off later. Any advise.
