Yea it just came to me really. You could screw these directly in to the floor anyways. Don't use 18mm... If you are floor tiling use 18mm or 25mm WSB Ply. if chipboard use 22mm. I don't think 18mm is standard structural grade. Also make sure its P5 grade. I used 18mm loft ones before the small...

I was wondering if there were any fixing means on the floor. Some new stud walls in new builds use a metal frame with plasterboard attached to each side. I was wondering as there is wood at the top if there was a means to fix to the floor for a framework that's slim but strong which would then...

Just a thought... If you cant find a match/same tiles. Do you have any where in the room where it's been tiled behind? I.e. a cooker? You might find an area that's been tiled that's hidden. If you cant find a match it may be possible to remove some and use them as donor tiles. Just an idea...

Cant quite see what I was after on those pics :) Any chance of any floor level ones? Around the base of the walls etc?

Maybe an idea.... Got any other photos from around the room, further back etc? If you can add a few more photos I might have an idea :)

Damn. They look aright royal pain in the butt. How soft is the mortar? Have you thought about running fixings along the mortar line? Or is that also rather crumbly? Just thinking if you could use 5-6mm plugs along the mortar lines. May still be worth a try with the concrete screws but if the...

If the bricks are easy to crack I would have thought concrete screws would just spin in those bricks and act like a drill making a loose fixing. I could be wrong there though. Have you got a pic of the room now it's stripped back? Close up on the bricks? Personally I would probably get drill...

2x1 is in inches :) it wont be 10mm it will be about 24mm. Planed batton timber is usually 24x44 (2x1) and 44x44mm (2x2) Just make sure you get 32mm plasterboard Drywall Screws (12.5mm + 24 = 36.5mm)Room to spare hehe. I've used 52mm Drywall for 12.5mm to ceilings little OTT but hey ho :)...

Don't forget adhesive weight :) that 25kg sqm up to 32kgsqm will be smaller than you think. Yea I got out extractor very close to the shower area. We have a bath screen shower so I figured get it close to there. Inline roof type :) Nice and quiet too.

Ahh right, yea I guess it depends on the layout setup etc. SOunds for your setup that was the best solution possible. Well thought of! Nice to know the full setup. Sounds nice :) Pics? Would be interested to see.

So was this originally render and then plaster skim on top (you mentioned it was blown? If so this would have been about 2.5cm originally? So actually with MR board and Battens it would only be out what? 3.5cm more than originally? So proabablbly not make a huge difference. Alternatively what...

That's true, but on the flip side and just curious here. If the walls are warmer, so less condensation forms there. Isn't that going to then encourage/promote it to go elsewhere? Ie ceiling? Just wondering if you get all around condensation that's light rather than concentrating it? I know...

See I'm not as sold on the insulation route. With a bathroom if your in an enclosed shower, you will feel colder when you come out what ever due to the temp difference. Bath wise, by the time you have run the bath, the extra heat from the hot water will have heated the room up assuming the...

For tiles that size (assuming cm) make sure you use a Cement Based powder adhesive, also Prime any plaster products with something Like Primer G so no cement reaction occurs. Also Tiles that size you will probably want to use something like BAL Rapid Set. Only mix up small amounts as apparently...

I used these tanking kits. I used 2 for a bath/shower zone and covered the wall/screen area and part of the floor outside the bath also. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Everbuild-Aquaseal-System-4-5sq-EVBAQSKIT45/dp/B006FTEA9C/ref=sr_1_4?s=diy&ie=UTF8&qid=1395766788&sr=1-4&keywords=aquaseal+tanking...

^ TheVictorian voices My thoughts also on Dot and Dab. To be honest. I don't even like the idea of Dot and Dabbing.... I'd never do it myself personally at all. And the fail point would be just scary.

Plug and screw to the wall?

Yea they list it for that. I got it from another place previously for the £29 a bag. then I showed them the price I was getting it at and said I need another 10 bags can they do it for £25 a bag and they said yes as bulk bought. Our bathroom was 20sqm. I had to use more in places for...

How big an area do you have to cover? I've used about 20 bags lol! Renovating a house. I knew I'd be usinga fair amount so negotiated a deal. You can get it for about £29 a bag, best deal I got was £25 a bag.
