hi chris as long as the floor is stable glue the board with rapid set flexi,and screw it as per manufactures instructions.

you need to check if its a floating floor, if it is then you will need to think carefully about takeing the job on.

andy, yes it is a floating floor, but most upstairs bathrooms are these days. I will however make a judgement on the strength of the floor, and wether it needs pulling up and ply'ing however i doubt the customer would want this.

if its upstairs bathroom then it will be on floor joists, a floating floor is ground level chipboard on insulation.

are the chipboards screwed to joists dilz?, if so, then yes, a rapid set flexible adhesive to fit your cement boards (and screwed too)
