    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...

    I'm thinking about this more and more lately, I can get codex hydrostop at a stupid price ( which is like ditra Kerdi membrane ) now when tanking a shower area rather than messing about with liquids why not just put this sheet up .

    Tanking limits .........

    With the new bs correct me if I'm wrong but do they stipulate what is a wet area . I believe in some countries a wet area is considered anywhere within a certain distance from say a shower head . Is this bs nice and ambiguous so we make it up as we go along .

    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 ?

    Do you put tanking kit straight onto Aquapanel?

    Read in some other forum that some people skim the Aquapanel with tile adhesive then paint the tanking paste on. I've ot one of the Mapei tanking kits to tank a shower area. Thought you could just paint it onto the Aquapanel initially.

    C’mon then, show us your tanking.

    What’s your preference, how did you tank your last wet area? Wedi board with Butyl tape applied.
