    Okay, advice heeded and will begin the chipping off process at the weekend. Appreciate all the input from you guys! Regarding boards, am I right in thinking MRPB us fine throughout with Bal tanking all over the shower and bath area? Also, is there any benefit to sealing the board joints with...

    Wall Boarding Advice

    Is there no other way? Another kind of board perhaps? Taking 4 walls of a 4m x 3.6m room back to brick is one hell of a task.

    Wall Boarding Advice

    So given I'm fixing to what I believe to be a lime mortar, can I D&D and use mechanical fixings in addition. Say 300mm centres through the D&D as you would with Hardi?

    Wall Boarding Advice

    Even if the substrate is powdery and weak? I thought the weight of the tiles may compromise the D&D?

    Wall Boarding Advice

    Exactly right, the frame is tight against the lhs wall, so if I battoned and boarded, the wall would come flush to the hinge..

    Wall Boarding Advice

    Wall Boarding Advice

    Yeah, I understand that would be the best approach and the one I'd considered until I realised just how much time, work and mess was involved (upto an inch thick in places). Tbh it's a 120 year old terrace with limited resale value and I can't really justify several days work to achieve a 100%...

    Wall Boarding Advice

    I like this idea as it seems the simplest. A couple of questions.. Will Water Resistant PB be sufficient for all the room Inc wet areas? With the tanking, do I just need to tank a meter or so above the bath, or all the way to the ceiling. And lastly, do I need to do anything with the edges...

    Wall Boarding Advice

    That's right. I took the skim coat off as it was a complete mess after removing previous tiles. The wall beneath is better, but powdery and not 100% straight. Primary purpose of boarding is to get a nice flat and even base for decor. I would simply reskim it, but that wouldn't solve the wonky...

    Cleaning Fake Mosaic Tiles

    Hi all, I have fake mosaic tiles in our bathroom and have tried all the usual methods of cleaning, but the 'grout' lines won't come up anywhere near white. The real grout lines are also too far gone and could use regrouting. Are the grout lines on fake mosaic tiles actually grout lines? IE...
