Hello,

I'm about to start building my Ensuite. 1 wall is stud and plasterboard, so my intention is to acrylic primer then tile straight onto it.

The other 3 walls are going to be back to bare brick. Tiling over this will be a pain, as its bound to be uneven. But i'm wondering what is the best idea. Do I simply dot and dab first, primer then tile. Or use something else. Plywood packed and screwed or some kind of tile backer board.

The shower is going to a snail/spiral design, So I'll cover that in plywood, this will have mosaic tiles. And a "pebble" floor. I was thinking of using an epoxy grout if anybody has any suggestions?

Thanks for any idea's/help.
