Hi guys,
First thing, this site is great. I wish I had found it ealier!
Anyway
I have just started to re decorate our bathroom, ive pulled all the floor and wall tiles off and have plaster boarded the studded wall.
Now im left with the three other walls which I have taken back to brick, It’s now obvious that the bath/shower has been leaking and as such has made four floorboards and part of one joist rotten.
Once I get this sorted I’ll be boarding the rest of the room so that I can get to work with the tiling.. I am only tiling two walls (where the bath is going) the other wo are just going to be painted once skimmed.
Can I use normal plasterboard around the shower and bath and then tank them up ready for tiling!? Or do I need some other type of board to tank over? I really don’t want damp to get in like it has before which has ended up ruining the plaster and floor!
If required could you please tell me what the board is called and where to get it from? I am going to dot and dab the boards to the brickwork
I have read a few posts about aquaboard, and that is usless!?
Thanks in advance for any information
Ian
