Full Bathroom "project"

[Falcone83]

Hi,

I am new to the site and have started refurbishing my bathroom. I have only started ripping the old one out and have posted some pics of the job so far. there's pics of how it was previously also.

I have done a bit of tiling before (my kitchen floor, splashback, my mums hall floor and kitchen floor and one other job) and although I have never done a full bathroom before I am quite confident of doing this. I have a friend who is a joiner and another who is a plumber who said they would help when I need them.

I plan on posting the progress on here and I appreciate all help given.

I started taking the tiles off the wall and fond another set of tiles underneath which was a pain but the top layer of tiles had been dot and dabbed on so came off ok with a gentle but firm hit with a hammer.

I had to take the external wall back to the brick as it will need re plastered. I am reluctant to rip the bath and shower out until this is done as I cant go too much further until then. I have a downstairs toilet so these have been removed upstairs.

it wouldn't matter if you fit the shower tray on top of the hardie, either would do,a better job tho imo.

Ok, thanks. Appreciate the help.

I will post again when I'm a bit further forward.

That's one of the reasons we're here.

Which tanking kit would you recommend if I were to tile inside the cubicle and are they straight forward to use?

The one I'd recommend for you would be
BAL Tank-it | Tiling Products | BAL Adhesives
Or
Ardex WPC - FastTrack Screeding
They're both the same product more or less and by far superior to anything out there that a diy'er so to speak would use. A bit more expensive also, but how much would a failure cost you?
