next job, my son's bathroom, a third floor 100+y old flat in Aberdeen.

First off is the shower, enclosed on 3 sides by stud walls with door and fixed glass on fourth . LH and back stud walls are to be built, RH wall is stud and will have lath and plaster replaced with PB.
I've done bathrooms before (see http://www.tilersforums.com/new-members-say-hi-here/26743-trouble-ahead.html and http://www.tilersforums.com/tiling-forum/26769-att-joe-bloggs.html ) but tanking a shower is new for me.
My intention is as follows:
build stud work,
fix plumbing in walls
cover with 12mm PB . The walls sized so as to just fit in tray and tanking
use Mapei 'shower waterproofing kit' to tank from floor up 1 metre
Lower shower tray onto mortar bed (on floorboards)
fix trimlux to PB/tray (I've used this before)
tile (large, porcelein) up to ceiling using KERAFLEX , no primer.
Any advice would be welcome. Its very important that the shower doesn't leak onto the flat below.:no:
Setting out from deepest Cornwall on Thursday with a car full of tools and stuff.
