Tiling and wallpaper

Post by Mr Toolbag »

Guys,

I have a full bathroom to tile....big tiles 450 x 300. Currently tiled to dado height which I will take off... question is above dado height I have wallpaper. Looks like it's been there for ever, solid as a rock and no peeling anywhere, is there anyway I can tile over, say score it and PVA?
Please don't tell me I have to get it off or I have really dropped a b*****k on the price!!!!!
