Replace Internal Wall

Hello

I'm currently saving to get my bathroom done. Its fully tilled at the moment and i don't really like this look. I would prefer to have the wall on the toilet side tile free, and on the basin side, part tiled around the sink. Do i have to replace these walls, rather than remove tiles and plaster? How much would this cost approx? I only have a small bathroom (about 7 or 8ft by 6ft).

Thanks

    If the tiles are well on you can skim over the tiles if you use Bond-it by gypsom

    Or you can remove the tiles, repair any plaster it removes and skim over

    Price wise,all depends on how much plaster it removes when the tiles come off, At the worst allow 3 days labour to chip off all plaster,Dot and Dab plasterboard and skim,labour approx £300-£600 Allow approx £130 for material

    Thanks - Would it be cheaper to knock the wall down and out up a new gyproc wall?

    diy cost would be about 100 quid.
    i erected a stud wall bigger than yours, a few yrs ago for 100 quid in materials.
