First off, thank you to everyone that posts on this forum, although this is only my second post, the advice I have picked up from reading others has been invaluable.
On to my error. I have discovered rather late in the build process that my floor is not perfectly level, I did check it but...
Hi all.
I’m after some advice on how to waterproof a shower?
I’ve recently moved from the UK to Zambia materials such as Wedi board, tanking systems etc are not available here. Any ideas/ advice on waterproofing will be much appreciated
I'm thinking of using this to tank walls prior to tiling for a shower (tray going below). Walls have been bonded level and skimmed with multi.

Hi all
In a kind of 'Payment' for all the advice i have got from here i have decided to do a build thread for my wet room, it may help someone in the future it may not but here it goes!
Room size is 1.8M x 2.2M, at the end of the extension i finished building a last year. I work full time so...

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 .

Have a wet room coming up which I have been given complete control of so can choose all products.
It's a 1st floor wet room and I really can't decide which system to use.
I haven't had much experience outside of Impey/Waterguard but am wiling to try different products.
Cost is potentially...
All professional opinon appreciated - Had a wetroom done and the tiles are falling off in the wetroom, the tiler used the dot and dab method in a wetroom. I have up loaded the images to see what your opinon should we take the tiles off and start again.
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 ?
Guys
Have a wetroom to create in an extension & just wanted to clarify a couple of issues.
The wetroom is 1st floor on timber joists.
I am using an Aqua Dec tray with UFH.
My question is with the tray being 22mm at the perimeter how can I install any insulation board (Wedi or the like) & SLC to...
It seems that ardex liquid tanking is a very popular choice on this forum and I am hoping to use some in my wetroom, however does anyone know if it's okay to use on a plastic shower former? The only thing I can find online is people recommending I lightly sand the surface of the former and AKW...
Planning to tank my en-suite tomorrow, using the BAL WP1 waterproofing kit. The ceiling is existing painted plasterboard. Do I need to tape and treat the joints between wall and ceiling like I do for the corners?
My gut says no, as the WP1 can't be painted on etc after. Presumably if I don't...
Ok, so in this thread a concern was raised that the @Impey Showers tanking membrane was affected by Silicon so I decided to do a little test.
An offcut of Impey Waterguard was used and laid on the bed of my Dewalt tile saw. Areas were marked out on the membrane where the following were...
