[QUOTE="Sam P, post: 877458"] Hi all keen DIY'er here willing to do all of the required research in order to do a good job. Not worried about the time it takes, just that the end result is presentable. Currently beginning a bathroom refit and reconfiguration, a standalone shower is being added and the previous shower over bath replaced with a bath only. The toilet has been shifted in order to fit in a 1200x800 offset quadrant shower enclosure in the corner of the room. The walls will be tiled floor to ceiling in the shower area and partially around the bath. I have a stone resin low profile shower tray on order which I will be raising on a 18mm ply plinth and bedding in on sand and cement. I'd like some advice on tiling substrates. I am working with a painted plastered external wall and painted skimmed plasterboard in the corner of the shower enclosure. I have read a lot about different substrates and see the options as Wediboard/KerdiBoard or tanked cement board such as Hardiebacker. It is likely that the existing plasterboard walls will be damaged when removing the tiles so I am expecting to reboard these areas with standard plasterboard in the higher areas around the bath. Please could you advise on the best way of preparing the walls adjacent to the shower? [/QUOTE]
