Which plaster type for bathroom?

[Brad]

Hi, I'm decorating my bathroom.
I've been chipping off the old grout and loose plaster.
Now I'm going to apply some PVA (about 1:4 or 1:5 with water) over one of the walls where the plaster can be rubbed off with your hand as dust/sand.
Afterwards I'll be doing a rough coat and finishing coat (or 2).
The bottom half of the walls will be tiled and the top painted.

What type of plaster do I need?
I'm thinking of going to B&Q and getting "Thistle Undercoat Plaster" and "Thistle Finishing Plaster" is this right for a bathroom or should I get some other type?
(in case you can't tell, I don't really know what I'm doing).

Thanks,
Brad.

Although I like the look of this web site, I had been hoping for a quick simple answer so I could get started this weekend.

However it seems this site is not very busy, so I looked elsewhere.
I'm sure the admins of this site will not like me linking to other forums, but I've reposted this question at www .diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1947131 and got a quick response, though unfortunately not a simple answer, I need to do much more research.

I'll still read some of the archived posts here, but will not be posting on this site again, www . diynot . com seems much more active.

Brad.

Thistle is fine for a bathroom, you don't need anything special for a bathroom

thistle based backing plasters and PVA in a bathroom isn't good.
