Newbie advice req'd - waterproof shower/bath walls

[Mr.Moo]

Hi all,
First post, so please be gentle :smilewinkgrin:
I'm about to tile above our new shower/bath and was looking for some advice as to how to prepare and waterproof the walls.
Have scoured these forums, I see that aquaboarding and/or tanking might be the way forward.
I've attached a photo as I've got one wall to be boarded, and the other is plastered brickwork.
I have bought aquaboard from Wickes to cover in the mixer controller on the stud wall, but what should I do with the brick wall? How do I seal from aquaboard to plastered wall?
Any recommendations for a waterproof adhesive? I have used tubbed Nicobond so far in non wet areas. Is the Nico Aqua Ultragrip a good choice I should I use a powdered adhesive around the shower end of the bath?
The tiles are travertine tiles so will pick the most solid tiles I can round that area and all are sealed after tiling with enhancer. The grout I was using (as recommended by my tile supplier - and it does look good!) is limestone ultra flex joint which says its suitable for power showers, swimming pools etc so assume is good enough grout.
Thanks in advance.

Hello and welcome..

Personally you can just use 12.5mm plasterboard on that frame then use a tanking membrane to make it fully water tight from ingression.

The same membrane can be used on any others areas you want to tank..


Dural WP is one i use and you use a cement based adhesive for the application of the WP and the tiling.

p.s .. i will move this to tanking forum.

Welcome. As Dave says

No much more you can say, as above. I think it would be the easiest and prob most cost effective way of going about it

Thanks for the tip. The kit that wetdec does is what I will want then I assume?
Its nice to post on a forum as a newbie where there are pros and get such helpful advice - Just wish I had found it before I'd started ;-)
Cheers chaps
