Bathroom refit - a few questions

[janzbro]

Hi, got a few questions regarding my up & coming bathroom refit.

I've been looking at some tiling patterns and quite like the brick set(if thats what you call it) never done this style before, the tiles a a trav imitations that are 310 x 450

Any advice as fitting to dot and dab plasterboard walls and plasterboard partition walls in a bathroom (after tanking shower area walls of coarse and priming walls)

Should I use a flexi adhesive and grout ?

What size spacers should I use - 2mm?

Should I fit acrylic topped resin shower tray first then tile down or tile to floor then fit tray ?

Thanks in advance

brickbond pattern would look nice yes definetly use a flexi adhesive and grout 2mm spacers would be fine down to personal choice really.

dont skim the plasterboard tile straight onto it though

yup

2mm is a good sixe to use

Should I fit acrylic topped resin shower tray first then tile down or tile to floor then fit tray ?

Fit shower tray first and then tile down to bath but leaving a small gap for expansion 2mm

Tiles MUST sit on tray. If the walls are not square, chisel some of the plaster / board away so the tiles sit on the tray. Silicon tray to the wall, silicon around top of tray to plaster then silicon after tiling
