tiling shower wall

[Qwerty]

Dave & Stef are right..... Aquadefence is a fantastic product.

The kit from screwfix you mention is Mapei Mapegum. This is very similar to aquadefence but requires a few layers and is not as rapid setting. Daves offer is very good.

The mapei kit ...... http://www.screwfix.com/p/mapei-shower-waterproofing-kit/78484 ..... will cover the 5metres you require even though they say 4metres. Use a 4" roller and a large roller tray and you will be fine 😉

I think I'll get the screfix one.

to Dave, you serious about the discount? Can't tell with the smiley face and all!

This is what I'm working on, I have removed the studs that are against the plaster wall, was going to use a 700 tray, but went for an 800

On the phg website, with vat and delivery, it comes to £92 odd quid.

Cheers Dave and all.


if I had time, I would give them a call, can't see it arriving till tues/ wed. Thanks though.

I'll give the mape gum a go, it's my one shot at this with baby coming and all.

just to be sure, better than bal wp1 and homelux sheet? If so I'll pop to screwfix first thing in the morning.

thanks again guys.

Sorry, got a quick question. When I put the plasterboard up do I use ordinary drywall screws and do I need to fill the heads of th screws? Or just prime away.

 

[Dan]

Use the proper plasterboard screws for wet areas. Then tank over them.

 

[diferentshades]

Do you know what they are called?

Are they the zinc ones?

I think they Are yeah. I couldn't think of the word I wanted to say anodised but that's not it.
