Tanking is advised but many of the bathrooms I have removed have no tanking behind and the walls are ok,it's the small percentage that aren't that makes me tank.

I buy the fluid and tape in bulk so it keeps the price low for my customers and time wise a shower area only takes about 30mins to tank,time well spent IMO for piece of mind.

Definately Paul, time & money well spent, if you don't & you do get water behind the tiles you will regret it.

BAL WP1 a good one to use but lots of other manufacturers do them too
