Hello,
First time on here so not sure if this'll end up in the right place.
Anyway, Im after some advice regarding a shower cubicle in a bathroom.
It has an open red brick wall which I want to place a shower tray up against, plumb in, tile the sides, etc but what I'd love is to be able to leave the open brick wall as it is, the problem is that it has been drilled in the past. Would it be possible to just fill the holes and seal the wall? If so, can you recommend any products / ways to guarantee it'll be waterproof?
Thanks in advance​

Hi and welcome..

That would be a nightmare to clean the bricks even if got a total waterproof wall.

Not part of the tiling world, I know, but why not use clear marine epoxy resin? If you go into a Marine Engineers place or google it, you'll find marine varnishes and lacquers which could well be suitable. For the marine epoxy resin there is a thickening powder available which makes the coat lovely and thick to smooth out the bricks' surface.. and will make the wall look permanently wet and glossy... worth looking into I reckon :thumbsup.

Make sure that wall is bone dry though before you do... :thumbsup: no showering in there for now, but I totally get where you are coming from with that. :)
