I'm renovating my bathroom. Completely stripped down to joists old fitments out all old tiles and adhesive cleaned down left with good surfaces. The area around the bath / shower is existing exterior ply which had been primed. The tiles had been on for 25 year but the bottom edge of the ply had suffered some decay as a result of water ingress so have cut that out. In his area I want to improve the water tightness so thinking screw waterproof backerboard over the ply into the studs.
The tiles are 600 x 300 Porcelain floor to ceiling.
Q. Any thoughts to support this idea or alternatives please. What thickness board/make
Q. What are the prefered methods for sealing between ply,backerboard and tiles at the junction with the bath.
The rest of the bathroom is 1930's plaster ( I think lime ) over breeze block. The previous tiles went to dado but were light by comparison to porc as a result I am not totally confident regarding the plaster integrity to support the weight .Doorways and architraves etc restrict options for battening off so. Any thoughts please. Considered aquapanel but can't as it's not suitable to be fixed direct to plaster with no air gap behind.
I knocked down a wall in the hall yesterday and the plaster just seemed to fall off with a tap.
Q. I think we can mechanically fix with thunderbolt into the breeze block but what board for loading. ?
It's never simple for meeeee or is it.
