[QUOTE="Jon_Hall, post: 978634, member: 56786"] Tile backerboards with a foam core, such as Norcros Pro Board, Wedi and Marmox are waterproof, but the joints will require waterproofing with a waterproof tape or tanking with a liquid membrane and tape. I would suggest they are fixed to the walls using tile adhesive and mechanical fixings (30mm washers, plugs & Screws or dowels) If you get the walls plastered you will have to wait 4 weeks before you tile, to waterproof the plaster you would need to use a liquid tanking membrane and tape in the corners, bear in mind plaster can only take 20kg per metre. Your bath panel could be made out of the same backer board but you will need to screw it to a frame to make it ridged, then you could attach magnets to the back of the frame to hold it in place. With your concealed cistern you will need to make a timber frame up then you can fix your backer board with washers and screws and tile it. Its worth making a removable lid of some description if you can, I have attached a picture of one I built a few years ago. With regard to sourcing the materials, contact your local tile shops, they should also be able to give you the details of some decent tilers. [ATTACH]113975[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
