Hi There
I am just boarding a bathroom with Moisture resistant Lefarge plasterboard and will have a shower fitted over the bath. I am intending to use a circular shower curtain enclosure to reduce water onto walls etc from the shower.
At present the plan is
- board from ceiling to floor with MR p/b from Lafarge
- Use Bal WP1 Tanking on the walls around the bath prior to tiling
- then tile an area around the bath from floor to ceiling with 20 * 25 cm white ceramic tiles
- Using Wickes waterproof adhesive and grout http://www.wickes.co.uk/waterproof-wall-tile-adhesive/invt/230626/
- the rest of the wall area will be papered and painted - should I seal the m/r p/b before putting paper on?
Having read previous posts would I be advised to buy the Bal adhesives and grout and forget about the Wickes adhesive i already have?
If so is the right sort of shopping list?
BAL WP1 5m Tape £23.55
(£28.26 inc. VAT)
BAL WP1 Tanking Coating (8kg) £37.32
(£44.78 inc. VAT)
BAL Prime APD Primer (2.5 Litre) £13.49
(£16.19 inc. VAT)
BAL Microflex White Grout (3.5 Kg) £16.18
(£19.42 inc. VAT)
BAL Rapidset Flexible White (20Kg) £72.04
(£86.45 inc. VAT) for 2.
I am committed to the tanking (I think) but what about the tile adhesive as it looks like another £100 for that.
Another slightly different question I overbought on Lafarge Universal Bonding compound (two boards will have to go straight onto wall due to a clearance problem with the door - could I use the excess for the joints in the plasterboard or is that a bad idea?
Lastly any suggestion for a bath sealant at the join between tile and bath the floor is suspended so the bath is likely to move up and down a little.
Any advice or comments will be gratefully received
Regards
Paul
