hello all.after 6 months of browsing this site and doing a 2 week tiling course i had a look at my first job today.it`s for my nephews landlord which is perfect for me as i can take my time without a `real` customer looking over my shoulder.it`s an 18smtr bathroom,mostly replastered(bonded and skimmed) which was done 2 weeks ago.my questions are,
1. he`s having the bath removed and fitting a shower tray.can i dot and dab some plasterboard into the hole on the wall where the bath was then tape the joints,and as this will now be a wet area do i need to use water resistant plasterboard or will waterproof adhesive and grout be enough.
2. do i need to prime the rest of the new plaster in the room ,and what product to use.
3. can we take up the floorboards and screw 28mm plywood directly onto the joists,and then we can tile straight onto that.also i know i need to prime/seal the underside and sides of the ply,but do i need to prime the face i`m laying onto aswell.
4. which flexi powdered adhesive would you recommend.
5. do i just tile down to the showertray and seal with silicone.
i know i`ve read the answers to most of these on the forum somewhere but i wanted to check it out for my peace of mind.i`m sure some more questions will come up but this will get me started.thanks to all in advance. dave.
