Thanks to all who gave advice on my 1st thread yesterday.
Please bare with me as I am having a blond moment, and thats hard for someone with as little hair as I have.:lol:

As mentioned yesterday, I am renovating my bathroom and am planning to remove the current varnished t&g flooring and replace it with a more tile friendly alternative.

The new bathroom is going to have a wetroom showering area, this I am planning to cover with a Tuff2 pre-former type tray which will be laid straight onto the joists which then will be tiled. The joists are laid to 400mm centers.

Once I have removed the remaining t&g what woud you advise that I lay the tiles onto?

I was thinking of either 18mm ply and then 6mm type backerboard or a thicker ply say 22-25mm and then a decoupling type matting.

Am I thinking correctly or amI barking up the wrong tree?
