    To prime or not to prime, that is the question.

    If in doubt prime it has always been my way but how many would prime Moisture Resistant plasterboards ? Now cost of primer isnt an issue but if you weigh up the time it takes to prime and drying time then that is the cost I dont like. So how many prime plasterboards, MR or normal ?

    Tiling a false wall

    ...the new bath. But, a couple of questions: 1 - What is the right material for the wall? I am thinking probably moisture resistant plasterboard. Is this correct? 2 - Should I waterproof further around the shower area? It will be a mains powered shower from a combination boiler, not a pumped...

    This is an interesting thread. I'm new to tiling and trying to find the best and most practical tiling methods. I know that there is something in cement based adhesive that doesn't like plaster, so therefore I do prime. But I guess that if the plasterboard is intact and nicely wrapped, even...

    How would you do it?

    I am refurbishing a bathroom, I have a tiler to do the tiling but I am ripping it out and preparing. All walls are plasterboard so I think it would be easier to rip all of it out and re-plasterboard and then tile direct on to this. It will be a bath with shower so around the shower end I will...

    you need a single part cement based with admix spf you are better using ordinary plasterboard as its not as easy to stick to moisture resistant boards you wont need to prime it but check with the adhesive supplier just in case

    Internal Corner Sealing

    sorry for the late reply paul.....i answered your post and then had to go out. the tanking system creates a waterproof barrier to your plasterboard. the main reason for water ingression is the miniscule micro pores in the grout....grout is water resistant not water proof this will allow small...

    Best Substrate for Bathroom

    18mm wbp is overkill for the walls you can use 12mm moisture resistant plasterboard, just nog the wall for load points, like cistern or towel rails etc making sure there's no flex..spend the money on a 25mm ply floor if you're tiling it fixed @ 300 to the joists

    Help with tiling on board.

    ...ready mixed adhesive. I'd use a standard setting single part flexible adhesive if I were you. I wouldn't bother with moisture resistant plasterboard as if you prime it, it will delay the setting time of your addy, just use normal 12.5mm plasterboard and prime with the appropriate primer for...
