Bathroom Floor

[daveymc]

Chaps, i'm after a little advice as i'm putting in a new bathroom.

I'm intending to tile walls and floor. The existing floor (weyroc) has become wet due to previous leaks and is wonky due to previous plumbing work. As it's a small area (1.8m x 2.0m) i've decided to pull the lot up and start again. The floor area to be tiled is 1.8m x1.3m ish.

So here's the thing, given a completey new floor is to be laid how would you go about it - new weyroc then overboard with ply or is there a better (and more cost effective:smilewinkgrin method?

Any advice greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

Strip the old floor back to the joists, add some extra noggins for reinforcement, lay 18/22mm ply, then 6mm cement board, then you're good to tile!

Sounds like your doing the same bathroom I am!

I also think my question has been answered.

Bob - you fancy doing two at once!?

Bri - thanks for that...just one last thing, i'm assuming i'll need hardibacker (or similar)?

Cheers.

Hardi is exactly what I would use.
