Plasterboard against shower

[Need Help21]

People,

As part of a bathroom replacement, I need to fit some new plasterboard immediately on a wall adjacent to a shower. The plasterboard is very likely to get very wet

Can anyone recommend a plasterboard or similar product that is easy to get hold of from say Wickes or B&Q and tough enough to withstand use next to a shower for a good few months?

Cheers

I'd try hardibacker. About £12 a sheet from Topps and it's pretty good stuff. I'm no expert but we've used it in our wet room and put tiles on top of it. Hope that helps!

agree, tilebacker board like the one you say or marmox or aquapanel from wickes, cement based and made for the job!
