OK, so soon I will be turning out box room (236cm square) into a shower room with toilet and basin. The room has suspended timber floor, solid brick walls. I'll get my builder to put the drainage in place, and a plumber to sort out the water. After that, it's all DIY.
Should I just put down p5 chipboard, or maybe Particleboard P7, on top of the joists, or just use existing floorboards? I will probably have vinyl sheet down, all sealed up, so in theory it should all stay dry.
For the walls I will probably just tile in the shower area and that will be it. Paint remaining walls and ceiling.
But, is there something else I need to consider?
