Hi there I have stripped my bathroom back to the brickwork which on three sides is non-cavity and external and was wondering how to get a smooth wall look without tiles, so would I just plasterboard and then paint with eggshell say or would I need to do more? I was going to paint the brickwork with a liquid dpm, fix batons insulate with cellotex then 9.5mm wallboard, joint filler, sand down then paint 2 coats of eggshell. Does that sound ab out right or am I missing something? Can i paint the wallboard face and edges with dpm to protect it further before painting? Cheers
What are the alternatives to tiling my bathroom?

It all sounds about right to me but i'm not a builder. It would be well worth having a look at wallrock thermal liner but contact the manufacturer to see how it performs in a bathroom because papers can be problematic in bathrooms. Def go with the eggshell, i always spec it for kitchens and bathrooms
