    Preparing uneven concrete floor for tiling

    Hi Bond, that's right, the crack is just the meeting point between floor and step. I've not come across uncoupling membrane before. Just having a quick read, and you just bed it in tike adhesive is that correct? Would the concrete floor need priming first? The butting the door issue I mentioned...

    Preparing uneven concrete floor for tiling

    So just use a tanking slurry and sbr instead of going down the route of a dpm like the bostik cementone one? The dampness is actually only a very small amount appearing by the door. In the picture the darker area of the floor at the top is the outside step coming under the front door and butting...

    Plasterboard on bathroom wall

    Thanks for the info folks, I think I'll get some sbr for a bit of piece of mind. I'm assuming bal bond sbr and everbuild bond sbr do the same. Does it just form a waterproof/resistant coating on the boards then as well as improving adhesion? Should be able to return the acrylic one.

    Plasterboard on bathroom wall

    Doh, wish I'd just got extra marmox for the last wall, probably going to work out more expensive after buying adhesive and fixings for dot dabbing the pb. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. I also got some primer for the plasterboard as I'm using a cement based tile adhesive for my porcelain tiles...

    Plasterboard on bathroom wall

    I've put up marmox backer boards on 3 of the walls in my small bathroom including the wall that holds the loo and basin, side of shower and shower itself. I've bought normal 12.5mm plasterboard for the remaining wall which is furthest away from the bath/ shower (about 1.5m away) to try and save...
