    My 1st Job Half tiled wall around bath- want to tile the rest as adding shower. Advice on prep please

    Hi, We have a new build and the walls around the bath are half tiled. We now want to add a shower and so need to tile the rest of the wall up to the ceiling. It is likely the wall is just straight plasterboard? And would you recommend we use a full tanking kit for the half wall prep? Thanks
