    To tank or not to tank STS board

    Hi all, probably a pretty common question but I'm going around in circles looking online for a proper answer. I'm going to be fitting some tile backer boards to a 2 wall shower enclosure soon and decided on the STS boards as they seem cheap and decent enough. The STS technical guide just says...

    Should I tank this area in my wetroom?

    Hi, all I have just finished my wetroom and tanked all areas, to my understanding because this is a wetroom, therefore, all areas should be tanked. However, I have created a large concrete step that is spirit levelled and my worry is if I tank this area then should any water ingress via...

    My 1st Job prime or tank first?

    This is a proper newbie question. I've tried to find the answer already provided on the forum but can't! Is the order of application that you prime, tank, tile or tank, prime, tile? Or just two things? - prime and tile or tank and tile? I specifically have a wall that is pink plastered...

    Is it OK to tank over rapid setting render shortly after it sets?

    The rationale behind the rapid setting mortar is to speed up the work. At the same time, a tanking system essentially traps any moisture inside. It seems to me that tanking shortly after the mortar sets (in, say, one or two hours) is a leap of faith. What do you think?

    Filler/adhesive for plasterboard holes and when to tank

    I have some damaged plasterboard in a bathroom that needs repairing prior to being tiled. I have decided not to replace the plasterboard (due to the wall being Paramount partition board) and I don't plan to overboard it either (due to the bathroom being very tight on space). Photos are attached...

    Is failing to tank plasterboard enough to redo job?

    My new shower has (also new) plasterboard behind the tiles, which I'm pretty sure wasn't tanked before tiling, and I'm under the impression since 2018 building regs make this mandatory. Is this sufficient justification to insist on the job being redone? (there are a plethora of other issues...

    Confusion of which tanking product to use!

    I'm a DIY'er refitting a bathroom and en-suite and with 2 showers to tank/waterproof. One I plan to line with 12mm hardiebacker, and it also includes a preformed Schluter niche.
