Excellent! Many, many thanks for taking the time to read and post.
Over the past few days I've come to more or less the same conclusions, it's just good for someone to confirm some of my findings.
- Side wall of shower and toilet are both against external wall so no soundproofing needed. Will fill with insulation however to keep the heat in and speed drying.
- I can MR PB down to the floor at the tap end but not along the side wall. The CH pipes and the feeds to the cistern and basin run along the base of the wall under the bath. I'll have to start a foot off the floor on that side, I guess that's OK.
- I'll buy full-bore isolation valves, didn't even think of that
- Screen - As you say, I'll attach through to the batten on the RHS of the bath. However I was thinking of tiling up to it, rather than tiling and attaching on top of the tiles - flatter surface, no letting adhesive dry, no cracking of tiles when tightening etc. But..more danger of water getting through I guess...hmmm
- Tanking - was going to get the Marpei kit for £60 as it's available at my local Screwfix, that comes with a load of tape.
As I've said before, thanks for commenting!
