I've been told that it's ok to prime with PVA before tiling, but i've heard it can cause failures. Any advice?

I’ve just gone onto a job and the electrician hasn’t filled in the chases he cut in the plaster for cabling. I normally use just a basic mortar or gypsum filler, but it means I’ll be off the job for a day or more to allow it to fully dry. Any way I can speed up the process?
