Hi there,

I note that tanking is recommended for a shower. I therefore intend to use the DUnlop tanking kit. However, what would then be the suitable adhesive for this- bearing in mind it is in a shower?

Thakyou, I aplogise if his has been covered before.

A single part flexible cement based adhesive would be my choice, maybe fast setting depending on your skill level.

Hello Wardie, welcome to tilersforums. You can use a one part flexible bagged adhesive if you want, I prefer the bagged to the tubbed adhesive as do many other tilers on here.

Never use tubbed addy in a wet area/shower recess unless its a D2 formulation.

Thankyou all for your resposes and welcomes.

So would I be ok using Mapei keraflex over the Dunlop kit?, looking at the data sheets- it would appear so...

Lovely adhesive to work with too

Thanks guys.

Thinking ahead.. My local stockist stocks Bal supeflex grout- is this the best grout for the shower? (bearing in mind the shower walls are stud walls with plasterboard).

Or is the Mapei colour plus grout better- even though it doesn't specifically mention being 'flexible'?

Thanks for your help guys, I'm just keen to get this job right first time.. lol.

The mapei ultra colour plus is flexible and great for showers..it has bio block as well.. (anti-mould)
