fair enough , well just the shower bit I'll either just tile over like you say or use cement based board first BUT my main question was intending to be about the other walls (decorative walls where previous people had tiled but I want just painted walls) cheers gents

thanks gents the reason I want it is because Im going to build a fake decorative chimney breast in the lounge and it needs to be 5 ft wide exactly to sink my plasma into. standard 8ft x 4ft just wont be quite wide enough cheers all

Will it stick etc ??? Hi guys basically I have bought a house with a fully tiled bathroom, its quite big so can afford to allow it to creep smaller by overboarding the walls. I really want to dot n dab it as it'll be quicker, and less messy than hacking all the minging tiles off first. btw...

if you have enough room, you could do what a mate of mine did - he built an additional stud wall in front of the existing chimney breast and sink his plasma in that - easy, cheap, no bricks need removing so safe too you only need 5 or 6 inches extra to do it too hope it helps

thanks gents the boiler concerned is a glow worm space saver 50 I had it serviced and thermocouple replaced last year and it had a clean bill of health - my main problem is not the boiler or even the metal box (flue ???) really although this looks a bit ropey (but I guess its 20 years old...

Hi guys please offer me some advice I know the metal square box outside my kitchen wall leads to my boiler in the kitchen (old boiler about 20 years + and still working fine) I presume its just some form of vent - is that correct ??? Anyway mine has corroded quite a bit now and Id like...
