Hi everyone, looking for advice on how best to tile bathroom . Have done the floor already, 330x 330 slate effect ceramic tiles, stuck down with , yes i know , .... Unibond Rapid Set ... (should i wait till they all come loose) , but going to move onto walls , Have 300x300 ceramic tiles ,
walls are plasterboard , just standard stuff ,
a: do i prime the plasterboard before tiling ?
b: what with
c: what adhesive should i use? , as it need's to be up to the job of doing the shower enclosure too .

Oh , before i forget, the toilet pan is going ontop of the floor tiles, have sat it on tiles, slight uneveness, should i silicon or plumbersmate the underside , and will it need screwed down if i do use adhesive of some sort . ?

Was your unibond floor addy flexi. or is it on a concrete substrate?

used the unibond rapid set, and added flexi mix to it , its layed down on a T&G floor, with 6mm, yes 6mm, ply ,... wishing i'd gone for the beefier option now ,for peace of mind. Finished the floor yesterday , still needs grouting . Just hoping it dont all crack ...
