Can I ask what the purpose of priming the back & edges is? I can take an educated guess that the benefit of doing the edges is to stop the laminates seperating on the WBP but can't understand the reason for doing the back?

I'm looking to do the same or similar and have spotted a couple of comments through various threads about using acrylic prime the back and edges of the boards which I'm glad I've found out about now. Is it necessary to acrylic prime the front surface as well before laying the porcelain tiles...

Thanks Richard C, I've re-read the sticky and things are making sense. Is it necessary to tank the aqua panel as I can only see a reference to having to tank plasterboard?

I had considered removing and replacing the flooring but when I looked at it it looks like the partition walls and all walls were put in after the flooring so being able to remove the large sheets of chipboard is going to be tricky which is why the overboarding option appeals. Not sure on the...

Thanks, I know that the tray definitley isn't stone and fairly certain that it's acrylic as it has some flex in it. The flooring is currently 22mm moisture resistant chipboard so will be overboarding with 18mm or 12mm WBP before laying the pocelain tiles. As for access to the waste, the...

I'm fairly certain that the tray is an acrylic one but can't be 100% as it's yet to be delivered. It's made by a company called JT in case anyone knows of these products.

Thanks, i was 99% that was the way to go but wanted to double check as I was concerned that the curve on the shower tray wouldn't follow the curve on the cubicle and keep the distance where they join equal if this makes sense. I'm still removing tiles so not sure on the wall material yet but...

I'm just about to install a quadrant shower and wanted some advice on whether to tile before installing the tray or after? My initial thoughts are to waterproof the tray area and then install the tray before tiling but it has occured to me that if I do this then the cubilcle may not follow...

Thanks, had a feeling it would be chipboard so I realise I'm unable to tile on it. I'll look at the replacement option first but if not can I get away with overboarding with 6mm or 9mm WBP as I'm trying to avoid there being too much of a height difference between the en-suite floor and the...

I've now ripped out most of my old bathroom including the old floor covering and found that the room has fairly large floor panels. The only problem is that I can't figure out what it is made of other than it's some kind of manufactured wood boarding with a green covering on so I'm after some...

Thanks for the advice so far. I'm puzzled why there doesn't seem to be any isolation valves already installed(at least visibly anyway) so I guess I'll have to shut the system down while I install some.

I suspected that may do the job but wondered about the best way to seal the pipes off while I prepare the rest of the bathroom as I will still need running water in the rest of the house. Are normal isolating valves suitable as a method of isolating these pipes? Most of the pipes in the...

I'm in the process of replacing the shower and need to rip out the old shower valve. The trouble is I don's seem to be able to find any isoloator valvers for the shower or sink taps unless they're buried in the wall. The trouble is the system is a pressurised un-vented system which have no...

I've just joined up in the hope I can get some tips with a new project that I have just started in an en-suite room. I'm still in the process of removing tiles and some of the plasterboard has broken away so wondered if there's any special requirements when I come to replace it? I'm also...
