    Tanking normal plasterboard

    I have a job coming up to tile a bathroom which will have bath over shower (electric not power). Work has been done before me bath in etc. Walls are new unskimmmed plasterboard. Liquid or membrane tanking should be fine I think. Tiles are within the weight limits for plasterboard. Any thoughts ?
