    Tanking a shower cubicle that has new plastered walls?

    As per title says. Going to be tiling in a new shower cubicle. This area has had the walls re plastered, minus the skim coat. Is it essential to tank this area or can it be done without. Not fully aware of plaster's properties, can it be broken down by water damage? Thanks in advance.
