Bathroom Prep Help - Skimmed Walls

[Nic B]

Hi All,

I have spent all day reading the forum but thought it best to ask the question direct for some feedback.

We have an ensuite in our new extension which we are tiling, however, the builder has skimmed the entire room and did so before I knew the weight limits on skimmed walls etc. Needless to say I am in a catch 22 at the moment and need some advice really.

2 of the 4 walls are stud walls, one is dot and dab plasterboard onto the original house wall and the 4th wall is insulated plasterboard, so a real mix!

I wanted to get peoples thoughts on the best solution as I have already bought porcelain tiles, which I know are over the 20Kg/m2 limit, but would it be cheaper to

A - Just buy new tiles that fall within the weight limit
B - Rip out the plasterboard and reboard (Hard to do with the insulated plasterboard wall and has to be insulated for building regs)
C - reboard with new plasterboard over the 3 walls using mechanical fixings (Which doesnt solve the problem with the insulated plasterboard??!)

Any thoughts appreciated.

Thanks,

Nic

Let me summarise. JCR is looking for any way to have a pop at me. I replied to him and as yet Radio silence. To be fair I’d not reply either.

Oh yeah, the Cyril Smith thing was an unfortunate side fail.

Read the thread. I think we’ve derailed it enough. I have helped the OP and replied- on this thread and via PM. You have contributed absolutely nothing other than a pathetic smear campaign. I’m not continuing this any further. I should’ve ignored your nonsense in the beginning.

Still can't see where you replied to me . Also can't see where I asked you a question
