    Advise on replacing bathroom floor

    I'd agree with the above. put on new plasterboard and tank it. I doesn't need to be moisture resistant...not if your tanking it anyway. Also, some shower walls are on an external wall which requires duplex (foil backed) plasterboard and you don't get foil backed moisture check plasterboard (not...

    Advise on replacing bathroom floor

    I would remove existing skimmed plasterboard and replace with moisture resistant plasterboard, just tank the wet areas. With tanking you should still be looking at 32kg sqm, so should be fine for 600 x 300 porcelain and adhesive.

    Replacing chipboard floor for tiling advise

    ...sure you only take back the existing floor to the nearest joist in the room, otherwise the wall will have nothing holding it up and may start to drop over time. I would not bother with Hardie Backer on the walls, use 12.5mm moisture resistant plasterboard and tank or buy Wedi or Delta etc...

    What is best to use in this situation.

    I would add, go for the moisture resistant plasterboard, it's green in colour. Best to prime and waterproof the shower area.

    What is best to use in this situation.

    Bridging gap between inner and outer wall to tile on

    Definitely not a plank of wood, either moisture resistant plasterboard, or cement board to bridge your gap fixed with tile adhesive, this can be built up if you need to make the tile cut below the cill bigger. Too many variables to give a defining answer on the plaster skim..

    Is this a good job?

    I don't want to come accross too brutal, but the shower are should have been tanked. Moisture resistant plasterboard won't stand up to water ingress behind the tiles.

    Is this a good job?

    he used green moisture resistant plasterboard and cement based adhesive with flexible water resistant white grout. I've just checked all materials packaging in the grab bag. All made by Mapei. I'll also ask the question tomorrow when he's back to finish it off

    Best To Tile Onto?

    ...It has more stability without plaster on it. As long as your walls are 'tanked' correctly before tiling, moisture resistant plasterboard will suffice but a tile backer board would be more suitable. They can be dot and dabbed in same manor as plasterboard but better to studwork if you have room.
