No need move it, tilers discuss plumbing there.Um - no.
Don’t plaster the plasterboard!
Some dodgy advice being given here- maybe move this to the tilers forum as if I tell you how to do it properly everyone will say how do I know - I’m just a plumber etc ( but I do know )
Thanks for the replies. Where do I find the "Tilers Forum" on this site?Um - no.

Ben-gee, I couldn't agree more as far as tiling in wet areas is concerned. I'm just a retired guy labouring to an old friend. I've watched several videos on how to tile a bathroom properly (Roger Bisby and others). If I showed my mate your advice he'd just shrug his shoulders and carry on doing what he's doing. Thanks again for taking the time to comment.Grumpy; look if you’re going to take people’s hard earned money you ought to know what you’re doing..
In brief; yes tile directly onto plasterboard in none wet areas, wet areas either tank them or use a waterproof tiling board such as wedi, marmox, kerdi etc.
Apply adhesive to wall with notched trowel , notch size depends on tiles...
If tiles deeply studded or large or ‘bowed’ , also back butter the tile- in some cases will need to apply back of tile with notched trowel too.
Consider using a levelling system.
Consider getting a tiler in..
