Hi - I'd be grateful for advice. I'm doing a shower area due to a leak and tile failure. One of the walls is made of plasterboard which has gone rotten, so I'm in the process of ripping it out. It seems that wall is comprised of 3 layers of plasterboard (one of which I'm removing) and I can't see any timber studs. The layer I'm removing seems to have been installed using dabbed tile adhesive and some screws.
My question is what should I do re a new substrate? I had planned to use 12mm Hardie and then tank it, but without timber studs that won't be possible.
I think my options are I get some timber and build a frame over the 2nd layer of plasterboard, or possibly install a new layer of plasterboard. Neither option feels right buy I don't want completely tear down that wall. What would you do in this situation?
All advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks
