This is how Jan did it:

Straighten a crooked wall.
Smooth wall surfaces for an updated bathroom.
Wall application
Not every wall is a straight wall - as you will see when you renovate your bathroom. Qboard® will come to your rescue. The construction boards can be applied directly to old tiles or very uneven substrates.
Mounted in just a few steps, Qboard® provides a smooth surface that is suitable for all wall coverings from tiles or fillers to plaster.
Qboard® construction boards have a watertight XPS core, they protect walls from moisture penetration and therefore prevent mould forming.
... and here's how to do it:
On uneven walls, the construction board must be fastened at appropriate points first. Please use tile or flexible adhesive for fastening.
Attach the Qboard® basiq construction board to the wall so that an even, perpendicular and flush surface is created for further processing.
Once the adhesive has set drill 8mm diameter holes so that you can fasten the construction board with Qboard® metal plugs later.
Finally, all construction board joints must be coverd with Qboard® glass-fibre tape and filled with tile adhesive. Use Qboard® sealing tape for wet areas (e.g. showers).
