Can I plasterboard over artex wall (not ceiling)?

Question

My bathroom has walls with artex. Can I plasterboard over the artex walls and then apply wall paper/plaster or even paint?

Hi,
Take off any sharp edges of the artexed walls using a scraper. It is possible to "dot and dab" the plaster boards and fix to wall areas. Once dry boards can be decorated. Hope this is of some help.

Hi yes you could board over the walls , but have you looked into removing the Artex ?? But have to be mindful of what type of Artex covering is made of . Would need to see it for better answer

you can put drywall but it is better to stick, because artex may contain asbestos and it is not a good idea to be on a structure because of the inevitable drilling when gripping

Yes you can plasterboard over but they would have to be a moisture board then you could skim and paint

Yes you can but you need to make sure you use waterproof adhesive and seal the plaster with pva before decorating.

Yes you can but it's best to let someone who knows what they are doing do it because behind bathroom walls are pipes etc
