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

It's the individuals right to have an opinion this is what makes mankind if that's the correct word different😀

I don't have a problem with someone having an opinion in fact I like a discussion as sometimes you learn something and as Cyril Smith the mp once said there is one thing a person who changes his mind can say and that he is cleverer than he was yesterday , bu surely someone should stand by their opinion .

True, But shameful the words of a man who should have listened to his own words,
A Guardian article Six years ago, police apologised after concluding that Smith should have been charged on three separate occasions in the 1960s and the 1990s for a series of indecent assaults.

Maybe not best example then

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.

What do you mean you have replied to me

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.
