Tiling on painted plasterboard walls

I have painted plaster board walls in my bathroom. Can stick tiles straight on to this? Would it be advisable to give the walls a blast with the sander to rough them up a little?
Many thanks

Youn can not tile on paint
Walls will have to be sanded and scraped to remove paint
Once removed prime with Primer G from Mapei
Do not use PVAHi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure0 -

Yes - it would be advisable to give a sand first. Once done you should not need to put any "Mapei" products or anything on there if you tile well!!
Maybe the Mapei salesman will disagree - whatever - check out tilersforums.com for all advice and help on tiling. Great guys and you will get good, sound, quick advice.
