Have got a mixture of tiles:

A: Porcelain tiles 9mm thick 600 X 300 for walls 1 and 2

B: Ceramic tiles 9.7mm thick 500 x 300 for walls 3,4 and floor

Wall 3 is an aquapanel stud wall which will have shower fitted above bottom end of bath so need showerproof for this and wall 1 i assume?

Given the size of tiles i assume that ready mixed is a no no?

What do you recommend I use as an adhesive and also do i need to prime the walls? these were tiled previously aside from wall 4 which was painted.


Appreciate any advice, previous experience was tiling downstairs toilet but i used ready mix for this (tiles were 8x260x375 ceramics)

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 set rather that rapid, gives you a lot more time to play!
You didn't say what walls 1 and 2 are constructed from, prime them too.
