It's awful stuff, just like trying to skim with filler. It's not what it says on the bag, says its a two coat skim but you can't trowel it like multifinish.

Can't you temporary fit the posts and panels then when the worktops are in remove them, tile then trim them up and refit. You will only need a couple of screws from the inside of the carcass into each panel.

It does look an awful job. I wouldn't have fitted back over the used matting. Should have pulled it up and started again. Have never used the dittra. Over the last few years I've always used 6mm hardie backers on wooden floors. Also looks like the toilet was left in situ, should have been...

Assume it's tub stuff? I always use powdered. As already stated add some heat to the room.

Wall 1 , tanking fluid in what is going to be in the shower area. You don't need to tank over aqua panel or prime it. Wall 4, make sure it's free of dust and adhesive etc,scrap off the paint if you can then prime with acrylic tiling primer. Powdered cement based adhesive, maybe go for standard...

18mm will be plenty screwed down at 200mm centers with noggins on joins,you won't need backers on top. I know the sticky recommends thicker ply but imo its overkill unless the spacing of joists is excessive. Use a powdered trade flexi adhesive and grout.

I have damaged a sheet on my neighbours conservatory roof.Was felting my own flat roof and was quite windy. A section of roof felt I was working with was caught by a gust but also dragged a half roof tile too. it has made dent in one of the sheets about the size of 10p.I doesnt seem to be...

If you tile the wall and leave an opening for the mirror you will then have an exact size to work too. Dont use tile adhesive to fix it unless it suggests so in mirror manufactures docs,I used adhesive on one and it made stains through the backing so when looking at mirror you could see...

Dow corning http://www.screwfix.com/p/dow-corning-785-sanitary-sealant-clear-310ml/38292 A few more pounds but worth it.

I wouldn't use mdf as a base,use wbp ply and a cement based flexible tile adhesive.Also up the thickness to 18mm min.

I would go with silicone.

Bed them using flexible tile adhesive and yes they will need sealing to make cleaning easier.

Use a cement based flexible adhesive

Don't use pva in an area thats likey to be exposed to high levels of moisture. There are lots of different brands of tile adhesive that will fix them but read the tub/bag to check that its suitable for fixing to the surface in question.

Remove the tiles,I would be suprised/disappointed if you can remove them without damage to ply so work on the basis that you will need to rip the lot out and replace.
