[QUOTE="andy8758, post: 850318, member: 20023"] Difficult to judge what the surface is from the video. For most wet rooms (and preformed wet room shower trays) waterproof boards are used, and the waterproof tape seals the joints and screw fixings. So tanking (waterproof solution) does not need to be applied. Rufus - I think in tests done by Deanotile, it took about 7 hours to soak through the grout to the surface behind. So if shower area (above bath) is used normally by a couple, or a family without naughty children, then its unlikely to be an issue if the walls are not tanked. But in my experience, it is becoming increasingly visible when removing tiles above a bath with a built in overhead shower, that with heavy use, the sitting water still seeps through the grout in the bottom row, leading to blackened walls behind the tiles for about 50-100mm above the bath rim. I encourage the customer to have the wall tanked for about a square metre above the bath around the shower area as a precautionary measure. Most agree. [/QUOTE]
