Hi all,
I recently bought a house (built in 1915) and trying to do a little renovation around the tub area of a small bathroom (2nd bathroom in the house).
Here are some pics:

I want to re-tile the area that you see where I have removed the existing tile. Behind the faucet, there seems to be a wooden "shelf" area where you can remove the top panel to get to the pipes behind the faucets. I removed the tile and want to re-tile it.
I also want to re-tile the left hand side, hence why I removed the tile there, too. When I removed the tile in the corner, I noticed a hole and it looks to be a plaster wall.
Questions:
P.S> I installed my first toilet a few months ago thanks to this forum.

Questions:
- Can I use plaster to fill up the hole in the corner and then re-tile that area? Or, any advice on how to proceed before re-tiling?
- As someone whom has never tiled before, what is the process for re-tiling ? Can I remove the wood and replace with cement board, apply Hydro ban, and re-tile?
