There is a hole sloping up to the rear of the new spur,. Also, I'd like an electric heated towel rail on the yellow wall, above where the sink was previously (washing machine going in the corner). And a light over a mirror on the red brick infill wall (lighting cable with Wagos). Any thoughts...

I'm enclosing a bath on 3 sides, it might have a shower.

Incredbly sticky. Barrier cream a must, or just hand cream would do, even single cream would be better than nothing.

Incredibly sticky. Barrier cream before continuing tomorrow.. Do you use any waterproofing treatment on the Aquapanel boards before tiling?

What gap should I allow when cutting the boards, given that adhesive is being used instead of scrim etc. I gather the adhesive expands? Is this right? Or do I just butt them up tight after glueing, and get the screws in rapid?

I don't think Aquapanels are designed for that sort of weight, I think they might crack in that scenario even if you got the top of joists all at the same level

One side is rough, the other is smooth, with the brand name, batch No. printed on. I've put up stud to enclose a new bath on 3 sides, time to put the Knauf boards on. The obvs is that the rough face will grip the cls better. So which face takes the tiles?

So make the bath alcove 1800?

Thank you, So given that it's a 1794 lg bath, how much would be added to the 1794 for the primary seal? Would 2-3mm at lower edge/lip be about right? Becoming a little thicker at the top?

I bought an 1800x725 bath, to enclose on 3 sides. But the bath only measures 1790 along top of rim, flaring out slightly to 1794 at the underside/lower edge the rim lip. So is the 1800 given in the sales spec the length of the alcove required to accommodate bath plus 1st/primary seal? Making...

Talking to a general builder doing some dry lining in my place, says he mostly does bathrooms these days, because "everything has dropped and needs reworking". Is tilebackers/bath sat on the same horiz CLS/batten a good solution?

Thanks, I asked because I've never seen a bath that didn't have a 6mm to 8mm silicon bead around btm of tiles. If enclosing the bath at on 3 sides with stud, what gap would you set at ends to allow for 1st seal silicon?

Really? 150mm (147mm) tiles, so less than 3mm?

Thank you, Well yes, but having done that and regardless of wether the eventual btm tile is whole or not; what distance is usually set between lower edge of eventual btm tile and top of bath? Dain

It seems you fix horiz batten or CLS to walls where possible, and sit the lower edges of the rim on them after a bit of levelling. See Madrab comments. I'm trying to fit one in a stud alcove, so mine is enclosed on 3 sides. Where support fames are fitted in the recess under the rim, this is to...

Under the rim if a proprietary bath panel is being fitted.

So an "open side" is one where a panel will be fitted and therefore support framing needs to be recessed up under the rim, allowing space along the outside for panels. Change of plan, my bath will be enclosed on 3 sides with stud/Aquapanel. I can fix 3 horiz CLS supports to the stud anyway. I...
