    Tile backer board first time

    Hi all, I'm tiling my bathroom that has plywood boards on the floor. Apparently you are supposed to put backer board first, I got HARDIEBACKER 6mm. It's my first time tiling with them (and 3rd in total) so I don't know how tight they have to be around walls, pipes, toilet etc? Can you fill gaps...

    Tiling the side of bath

    I’m tiling around a bath. The backing board is ply and is slightly wobbly. Should I secure it before I start tiling? The trouble is if I secure it then it’s not level as the bottom of the backing board sticks out slightly. If I leave it slightly wobbly then I will get a straighter...

    Does size matter (that much) when it comes to backer board?

    I've had to take up half of my floor tiles including the 9mm ply that was underneath. I'm wanting to replace it but am thinking about using a cement board/no more ply option instead. Would a 10mm option work if I used slightly less adhesive? Any help is appreciated.
