Personally if you are going to skim it I would skim it all then use our waterproof membrane to seal the walls and base into place. If you use wedi board you will be wasting money doing the whole room as only the shower area +2-500m either side need waterproofing.
I dont think I would be called wrong if I was to say wedi or marmox for that matter isnt the best way to be looking at this it is the expensive alternative ??
