Hi all - quick question on plasterboard. I have a stack of 12.5mm plasterboard that I have slowly been working my way through on studwork throughout the house.

I have left the bathroom until now but looks like I'll have to get some board up soon for the first fix plumbing.

Can I use the same standard plasterboard that I've been using or should I use some waterproof plasterboard?

I have a little cloakroom to do downstairs; the kitchen and a family bathroom upstairs.

Was planning on making the family room as waterproof as I can - maybe a wet room (I tend to get everything soaking - no idea how !)

Thanks for any advice.

Hi Ed

Definitely speak to Wetdecs regarding tanking - he is the bees knees.

Have just finished tanking my shower and have used 12mm plasterboard on one false wall (as recommended).

The advice and help you will find on this site is amazing.

Never thought I could achieve what I have - just tanked my shower and now doing the tiling - all with the help of these wonderful folk.:hurray::hurray::hurray:
