I'm renovating our bathroom due to leaks due to a shoddy install.
I need to sit the face of a wall, which will be tiled on 12mm aquaboard, 20mm further forward from the studs (shown in the photo with shower valves protruding), to ensure it sits over the pipes attached to the front, bottom edge so the shower tray can abut it. Hopefully, my sketch shows the 32mm I need to make up, which will be an additional 20mm beneath the 12mm aquaboard.
I'm posting here because this is more of a build question. What is the best way to bring the wall 20mm further forward? It had previously been a 12mm sheet of ply screwed to the studs, beneath a 12mm tiled plasterboard surface, which was 8mm too shallow.
Can I screw 20mm thick pieces of wood to the current stud work and mount the aquaboard directly to these battons? I'd also thought of screwing a sheet of 11mm and a sheet of 9mm OSB to the studs and then mounting the aquaboard on this OSB.
I don't want to bodge the repairs, and I'm baffled about how to solve this correctly!
