Kudos on the basics sticky gcol but if possible could i get a little more info on pre work, could also be included in sticky if someone had time?
Basically i will be getting a pro in to do the actual tiling but was going to do all the prep.
I know some can be a little fussy and so could edit this breif list of things i plan to sort before he comes. any advice on how to/ specific materials appreciated.
First floor bathroom, tiling to be done on two solid walls (Plaster over brick) and floor which is currently 18mm floor boards. Wall tiles are to be bevel edge brick tiles and floor tiles 30 x 30
1. Once existing tiles are off the 2 walls, just chisel/ bolster off as much old adhesive as possible. fill any large holes/ gouges. Is this enough?
2 lift floor tiles and lay 12mm wsb ply over floorboards (with pipe and waste access).
3. Put in shower tray and attach waste etc, Do i stick it down with anything? Also just butt it up against walls, (Its going in the corner with the 2 solid walls) and run a thick bead of silicone down edges?
4. Relax and re check this post to see my horrible mistakes.
