    Unhappy 1st Bathroom

    hey all,
    been doing kitchens for the last cople of months and about to take on my first bathroom. its been gutted and the bath's being replaced with a walk in shower, the aspect thats bothering me is that the wall where the shower is mounted is 15mm ply, idealy i'd like to upgrade to aquapannel but its no no as far as the client (partners grandfarther) and money are concerned. i was just wondering if there was anysort of prep i could do other than sealing the back and sides.... also would i be rigt in asuming i need to use a flexable adhesive for the ply wall? be using topps so more than likley be a bal addy and grout.
    thanks for any help in advance and sorry for being so schoolboy about things, just want to make sure before i go ahead as unfortunatly walking away from this one is not really an option.

    I would use Dura WP for the walls, stuck with a single part flexible adhesive from Mapei ( KeraFlex) then tile over that using the same adhesive.

    sorry for the slow reply,
    its a power shower with a base and glass screens.. (maybe walk in shower was'nt the best term to use) what grout would you recomend? would it need to be an epoxy with it being a power shower?

    Tile Giant would be cheaper IMO and No, Topps dont sell Mapei.
