Hi I am doing a bathroom refit in a few weeks, what's moisture board like in bathrooms?

As in Moisture-resistant plasterboard?

looks alright i suppose better than boring grey boards !

It's ok moisture resistant and stronger and heavier! Still needs tanking though in wet areas.

Seen it break down just as easy as normal plasterboard.
As above, needs tanked to be waterproof.

So it's not really worth it then. What about Aqua board? I go for ply most of the time but wanna keep cost down on this one

Not used aqua board but I'm certain it still needs tanked as it's water resistant not waterproof.
I wouldn't recommend using ply in a bathroom environment as it suffers to much from thermal expansion & contraction even if water doesn't get near it.
Use plasterboard on the walls & tank it & use Hardie backer boards on the floor assuming that it's a wooden substrate.
