[QUOTE="Chris34, post: 974745, member: 56255"] Hi all, I'm redoing my bathroom that I did 15 odd years ago. Before it was tiled with 20x20 tiles, no moisture has got through and the walls were still sound. Shower end is stud wall which I removed the board and reboarded with new pipe work inside for the new shower. The side wall is a rendered / gypsum finished block wall (celcon type block) which a lot of the thistle finish came of with the tiles with quite a bit of effort, the remaining thistle was rock hard fixed so was left in place. I PVA'ed and reskimmed all walls including the boarded wall and made flat with "make good multi finish" same as thistle finish I think I now realize that as its a shower in a bath it now needs to be tanked, I've also realized that the plaster may not be strong enough for the tiles I've chosen (600x300) can't get on the website but I think 11-12mm thick! The boarded wall 1m wide I could remove the plasterboard and reboard with 12mm hardibacker. But what about the full wall 2m wide can I add 6mm hardibacker to this and fix through the plaster and render to the block or do I need to chisel it off and fix direct to the blocks? The render appears to be solid hence I skimmed it but i guess if screwing is an option screwing to the block is a better idea? I planed on tiling around the whole bathroom this time, the other walls being plaster boarded walls but a strange type of construction plasterboard walls with a cardboard lattice connecting both sides of the wall with 34x something struts every 300 to 400mm I could screw through 6mm hardibacker board to theses struts would this be ok? Thanks in advance, Chris. [/QUOTE]
