Waterproofing shower over bath

[burts]

Hi, I am a plumbing,heating and gas engineer
I’d like to know opinions on waterproofing for a shower above bath
It’s a skim finish.
Would people still go straight on these days or tank the wet wall and use a tape around the bath edge and internal corners?

Are you tiling? My preference is shower wall panels.

Yes I’m tiling. The post is about plastered walls as that’s what the main contractor has done
No room for shower panels now unfortunately

you mean the finish panels. I thought you meant tile backer boards as they are waterproof.

Tile backer boards are not waterproof ( water resistant) they just don’t deteriorate when wet .
