Hello everyone

Our bathroom has a bath with a shower mixer tap. Unfortunately the bathroom floor's been overlaid with ply (sealed on back and sides with acrylic primer) and tiled without tanking. Would this be a problem in a room with a bath rather than a shower tray? Would moisture still potentially wreck the ply even though the back and sides of the ply have been primed? If so, I might get the tiler to grout the floor with epoxy to minimise any potential probs.

Also, how should I go about tanking the walls around the bath using a tape and liquid primer (weber.sys protect) - should the tape go on the bath lip like it does on a shower? There's a window above the bath, should that be tanked and taped too?

Thanks for any help

oops, thanks for moving the post to the right forum!
