[QUOTE="graham35, post: 981296, member: 58133"] Thank you for the replies, my tiler eventually told me that he had sealed the green plasterboard to the shower trays and bath with Bal sealant (normal sealant ) and also the joints in the plasterboard and corners, but not the screw heads, and then stuck the tiles on, buttering the tile adhesive to the tile and then fixing it in place. I know that he did not seal one of the shower trays to green plasterboard, as I had to replace the sealant on the face to the tiles as after 3 months use of 2 showers a day the sealant had let go of the shower tray and some of the corners, he said that it is normal to have to re-seal every 3 to 6 months (my last house had the original sealant from about 10 years) his sealant let go because he did not clean off the grout dust from the tiles and shower trays). After I cleaned off his sealant, I was able to push a nail file between the shower tray and tiles all the way through to the studwork base plate without any resistance. I cannot believe that using normal sealant on the green plasterboard is the right thing to use. [/QUOTE]
