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...
Good evening.
I am enquiring about the use of tanking systems (such as those used with wet room shower kits) and plaster.
If an area has any new plaster can the tanking system be placed over once dry, or after some prolonged time ? Does it need sealing, PVA or similar?
Does the type of plaster...
Hi,
I'm looking for some advice on tanking a shower.
I have a 1400x900 resin shower tray in an enclosure with three plastered walls - one wall is stone and two are studwork.
I've bought the Aquaseal tanking kit and I just want to know can I, or should I, run the tape that comes with the kit onto...

Hi all. New to the forum. Hello everyone.
I've a studded wall in a walk in wetroom to tile. it's a nursing home, high humidity and high use. The wall has the shower itself on it. Everything else in the room is complete. I'm doing the studding at 400 centres for the uprights. I'm going to put...

it's a topic that has cropped up before but I don't think a definitive outcome came from it. What is your method to ensure the best possible seal to a white shower tray when your tanking the walls?

Hi, looking for some quick advice about tanking plasterboard ready for tiling. The area is going to be a shower. What are you supposed to do with the screw heads that are not on a join? I'm using the mapei wpk, which gives no instruction on this point! Do I just paint the membrane over them...

Hi all,
New here so please go easy on me :)
As part of some refurbishment works I'm doing, I'd like to install a couple of shower wet rooms on the first floor. At the moment, the floors and walls are all WBP ply. I'm also having a wet UFH system fitted using an overlay board of 10mm on top of...
I've only ever used tilemaster tanking kit so I can't comment on others but what I am finding it the paste dries so fast on the walls, when it comes to applying the corner tape, you need to really paste up the back of the tape or you have no chance. You can literally paste the whole wall with...

Hi guys
Just like your opinions on tanking onto the top of a shower tray. I currently seal the tray against the wall, mid way down the thickness of the tray. Then seal along the top of the tray and wall. Let that go off. Then tank onto that sealant followed by then placing the 'bandage' over...
