Tanking over wallpapered plasterboard

[Deleted member 49298]

hi

I want to add a shower to a bath but the room only has wallpapered plasterboard, not sure what type.
Can I tank onto it, or strip the wallpaper first?

Thanks

Assuming plasterboard is sound, ( able to support tile) remove wallpaper, key and prime board,tank and tile.

Good luck.

I guess it would depend on the pattern of the wallpaper.
Really - take it off.

It's woodchip wallpaper

Cut with a knife and plenty of warm water.
Or use a steam stripper.
