I've had a search and can't find the answer probably because it's obvious but want to check anyway.
Stripped the old downstairs wet room and removed all the plaster as it was damaged back to the sand and cement coat. After leveling the floor I'll be installing a tray and screen.
My question...

Hi,
Could anyone recommend a 100% waterproof cement based tile adhesive that is powder form and can be mixed only with water prior to application.
Does a product like this exist here in the UK?
Thanks

It feels like there is a constant asking about the suitability of cement board in wet areas.
"Will they be ok in my wet room?" "Should I tank them?" etc etc etc
Can I attempt to clear up the confusion - much of which comes from the manufacturers and the builder's merchants who sell the stuff...

What is the advantage of using tub adhesive which typically is spread at a 3mm thickness over cement adhesive which I was trained to use at a thickness of 8mm. I was told once the tub is open it starts to go off and a slow/amateur tiler would be better with cement adhesive. Discuss!!
Hi everyone
I have purchased just over 2 square metres of 18mm thick encaustic cement tiles to use as a kitchen splashback in several different areas.
As far as I can see I am yet to find a tile edger that is thick enough to hide the edge (which is rough) of the tiles +adhesive. Photos I've...

Hi.
I've discovered I'm the not too lucky owner of a Floating Floor, 18mm chipboard on 25mm insulation, supported by concrete "block and beam" I'm having a new kitchen and when the old tiled floor came up (slate on 18mm chip ply) we found the dreaded floating floor below. The old floor had...

In the course of getting my living room floor restored, I've discovered that underneath the boring old terracotta tiles on the fireplace hearth are some attractive patterned Victorian tiles. However the terracotta tiles have been fixed on top of them, with what looks like cement. Is it possible...

Hi all, hoping you can help.
We had to dig up some new-ish quarry tiles in our utility room to put in some underfloor heating. Unfortunately most of them got broken in digging them out, and we now need to replace them.
Does anyone have any idea what sort they are? Dimensions 149 x 149 x 13mm...
Hi guys just a quick question, are you able to use sand and cement as a tile adhesive instead of the modern day 'tile adhesive'..because basically i have been to many countries where they use sand and cement in installing tiles and they seem to last donkeys years with no cracking or any problems...
Hi. I'm tiling the four walls in my bathroom.
It was previously tiled half way up and where I removed those, the old plaster(?) underneath was like soft pumice, so I hacked it off and re plastered, primed with SBR and tiled the lower half of the room using Mapei cement based adhesive.
The top...
