hey guys, just a quick one, got a job coming up and the customer has just got a bath and a bath splash back which is around 3 tiles high, they would like these removing and the tiles extended all the way to the ceiling and they are also having a shower fitting before i tile, my question is, will tanking be enough to seal the area around the bath and shower, the substrate is painted plaster and skim i believe on a new build house. any advice would be awesome.

You shouldn't tile on paint at all and what weight are the tiles you intend to use as skim has a weight bearing limit of 20kgs per sqaure metre. A bit more information on your tiles and then we can best advice on how to tackle it :)


tiles are 250 x 500 ceramic tiles was thinking of backing board but customer on a budget
