Hi All
I've just taken out the bathroom in my house.
It is 1920s built end terrace.
I have removed the tiles.
There is black mortar (I think) on the walls. The internal walls appear to be made entirely from this
This has previously been skimmed and tiled on by the looks of things.
I am removing all of this to reveal all the black mortar as its a small bathroom and a lot of it is loose.
The external wall which houses the current plumbing for the shower has partially come back to brick. However I was planning on putting studs up to extend the wall as I am fitting a walk in shower with tray and this will save chisling out more brick.
The other outside wall seems to have retained the black mortar.
I was planning on fixing Gypsum glasroc tilebacker to the walls

I was planning on installing it on the 2 partition walls (made from black mortar) and the one external wall using the DriLiner Basic system mentioned in the below PDF:

the one where the actual shower will be attached to, I will extend the walls and use this board.
Was planning on using this all around the bathroom and the ceiling
Just wanted to make sure this sounds OK
Some photos below
Any advice is much appreciated
Thanks in advance
