Bathroom Diy Job

[Chucky_Chan]

Hi all,

I've just joined to ask for advice on my DIY job, any help greatly appreciated.

I'm doing a bathroom floor and shower walls.

The floor is wood effect herringbone and the question I have is do I run a full tile off the corner of the shower tray for neatness or should I centre a tile in the room and work off that? See below image of planned layout.

The shower is aquapanelled but there is a belly in the middle of the wall and it is out by 12mm over 1 metre at the base and also by 5mm at the top. Can I build this out with adhesive?

Cheers

Chucky

Ok, good stuff.

I'm happy to use a matt in that case. So I just use a 3mm layer of addy then lay matt, then tile as normal over matt?

Do I need to use any special primer for the ply or matt?

The bag of addy will recommend a primer or just use sbr, lay the matt in a tight bed and use the flat side to really push it in. No need to prime the matt. Good to tile over next day. Some say you can tile over straight away but if you need to lift a tile it'll pull the matt with it.
