Shower cubicle - a boarding problem

[Gentleman Jim]

In a bathroom the customer wants a tiled shower cubicle. The walls are very poor and I suggested an aquapanel type product to compensate. Can this be fixed with a "dot and dab" type process or does it need batons onto the wall first. If this is the case it will bring the tiling out too far so ... would 9mm plasterboard, primed then tanked, be a sufficient alternative?
Thanks for all your advice.
Regards
Jim

Plasterboard primed then tanked would do fine.

Following on from this is the fact that the plan is to board the rest of the wall to dado height so that tiles can go there as well. Obviously the top of the tiles (finished with a border tile) will be about 10 - 15 mm proud of the wall. Any suggestios as to how to make that distance presentable?

Not really Jim, but some of the old hands might have a trick up their sleeve.

you could finish the top off with a quadrant trim or a dado quadrant tile........dave..
