Bathroom wall & floor

[deakellis]

Hi all I am about to tile my bathroom 8 m2 wall that has been plastered. I have the usual shower, bath toilet and sink in the bathroom.
Wanting to know what type of primer to use if any along with adhesive and grout.

I am using ceramic 300x300 tiles.

Thank you in advance.

X1 15kg tub of mapei D2 & X1 7.5/2.5 KG of the same (depending on consumption)
No primer needed unless its dirty/dusty plaster- if so X1 mapie primer G 1KG (mixed 50/50 with water.
Mapei ultra colour grout 5KG (colour of your choice)

If you want a cement addy,keraflex grey X20kg & X1 10KG but then you have to use the primer G
Grout can stay the same.

I would steer clear of a ready mixed (tubbed) adhesive.

Choose a standard (slow) set cement adhesive (bagged), and a cement (bagged) flexible grout. You may be better off using a white adhesive if your tiles are light in colour.

Using the acrylic or SBR based primer that the adhesive manufacturer (which ever you use) recommend for their products.

Whilst Mapei are very good, there are plenty of other manufacturers out there. Depends which tile places are near you really

Consider ( I recommend) tanking the plaster walls in the shower area so that any water getting through the grout (which are usually water resistant but not water proof) can not damage the plaster.
As above I recommend a cement based adhesive (white if light coloured grout) with appropriate primer to fix the tiles, 300 x 300mm is about the size limit for dispersion (tubbed) adhesives and so may take a long time to set.
