Adhesive and Grout suggestions

[Timmo69]

Would like some recommendations of adhesive and grout to use.
I am using ceramic tiles on the walls and floors, the floor tiles will be layed on Hardiebacker.

Thanks

I'm guessing you've boarded over floorboards with the hardi backer so bal single part flex would be perfect
Bal micro max is the grout I would use
What is the substrate on the walls?

 

[Timmo69]

The walls are plasterboard painted with emulsion, would I right in thinking that scoring or sanding the walls down and then applying acrylic primer is the best way to go?

That's right yes, give the walls a very good key then prime with two coats going perpendicular to each other, I would use bal bond, as always best using matching gear..
Then I would personally use single part flex for the walls too, although depending on the size of the ceramics you could use the acrylic based "tub" adhesive...
We generally don't like to use tub stuff but depending how competent you are and how confident you feel it might be a nicer option for you in which case use bal white star

Hope that's a help for ya
