Hi. What about wooden bathroom floors

[John S]

If you are going to remove the 18mm chip floor and replace it with WBP ply, what thickness of ply do you need to use if you are going to tile the floor ???

Hi John S and welcome to tilersforums.com!

While you have the floor up why not add some more strength in the form of extra noggins and tehn replace floor with 18mm ( or thicker if you can) WBP ply.

 

[John S]

Good idea. Thanks:8:

 

[Gazzer]

If you are joining ply dont forget to leave room for expansion between each piece.

you can always overboard chipboard floors with 12mm ply might be a little easer if its solid

I was going to say leave the chipboard down and ply with 12mm as above but i take it you are doing this to remove any extra height on the floor to reduce the step.

If thats not correct id over ply it with 12mm WBP screwed 200mm centers.

Hi and welcome

:welcome:As above, but have you considered backer board, as an alternative. there are plenty around. Good luck. Half a mill Phil.

Thanks everyone. The existing chipboard got wet, which is why it is being replaced. Do i need to "prime" the wood first before laying the floor tiles, and what is the best adhesive and grout to use please????:smilewinkgrin:

 

[Gazzer]

Prime with Mapei G back and sides only. Then either mapei Keraflex Maxi or Keraquick with latex plus added. Grout Mapei ultra colour Plus, colour to suit.

Hi can anyone help?? I have to re tile a bathroom where some of the tiles have fallen into the bath due to a leak between the bath and the tiles. I will have to remove all the other tiles. There is the existing adhesive on the wall. Clearly the original adhesive did not cover completely the back of the old tiles as the old adhesive is like a "snake" of old, hard adhesive attached to the wall. Can i just fit the new tiles over this old adhesive, or have i got to remove it??? If I have to remove it and it damages the wall, will this need to be replastered before i retile it???
Thanks
