Hi all,
We have just bought a new-build house, and whilst there is a shower cubicle in the en suite, the main bathroom just has a bath, not ideal for guests. This is the current state:
The walls above the tiles are plasterboard and the builders have put breathable white emulsion on them (even though I asked them not to!).
I'd like to have the same tiles up to the ceiling and fit a shower screen/curtain so we can use this as the main shower for guests etc.
My questions are:
- Does the emulsion paint need to be sanded off first?
- Can the tile trip just be cut off, or do the top row of tiles need to come off?
- Do the walls need to be waterproofed/tanked before tiling?
Thanks,
Gareth
