New plaster and tiling
Comments

No, no, no, no, no.
I fit bathrooms for a living. Do not use pva as a tile primer. It simply creates a skim over the plaster to which the adhesive struggles to adhere. You need an acrylic tile primer which allows the adhesive to grab on to the sub strata.
If you don't know what you are on about, then don't comment.
I couldn't resist troll baiting, in view of people's strident dislike of pva in earlier posts.

Sorry for questions but my son is tiling my bathroom and he has never done it before. He is a perfectionist so am just keeping fingers crossed it will be o.k. any other advice welcome!
Use a tile leveling system such as the Vitrex one - If using a wedge system, well worth getting the pilers to go with them.Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –
