Done both, even tiled showers with tubbed onto plasterboard in the 80s /90s just like the majority of tilers on here,who were around then,And without a problem i may add.

There are plenty of people who won't even entertain having tanking done, even though I spend a good bit of time explaining the benefits. Some people either don't want the extra expense or just can't understand the benefits of it.

Plasterboard is fine. I always tank it though as seen far too many fail without tanking. The sooner tanking becomes building regs/ British standards the better IMO

I thought all new builds have to be tanked now?

Nope, the site I plaster are boarded,skimmed,tubed addy and tiled, half million quid houses,they have been building them for over 15 years,another 10years work yet.
I asked about tanking the other month(I don't tile them)
Answer
" why,in over 15 years not one call back"
Hard to argue really
