hi i have a wetroom to tile,which has 7 individual showers in it,9m2 on floor and 30m2 on walls,the floor is a concrete base which has been painted, which is flaking off jst now & the walls have ceramic tiles on them,on which a section of tiles has fallen off and the others look like there going to fall off.walls are plastered,which look pretty sound,jst needs dried out.........im looking to use bal products for this job,which ones would be best?also the floor slopes into the middle on four sides,what is best way to tile this?put full tiles in first,then cut angle tiles to them?jst looking for some advice really,dont think job was done right the first time.ceramic tiles going back on walls and non slip tiles going on floor........cheers graham.

Hello Graham. 7 showers running at the same time produce a huge amount of water. The forum has several threads about tanking, you should take a look at these too and ask wetdecs and/or BAL for a tanking system.

ok thanks for comments,wetroom is in a factory,dont think all the showers are on at the same time,maybe jst occasionally.i was going to tank it, as it definately was not done before......still wondering how to tackle the floor re tiling the angles,i take it,it is jst simply filling in the gaps once full tiles are down as i said above??........cheers

find the fall on the floor and it should look like an envelope then you cut tiles to the shape so the envelope pattern remains and the fall is correct
