Good evening. Quick question. Can you latex over already laid ditra Matt to get a few bumps and hollows out. I know this is normally done first but unfortunately it's already been laid.

Many thanks.

Absolutely!

So long as you aren't going more than 10mm I wouldn't have a problem doing it and as long as it's isolated areas. Not strictly the correct way of doing it but, we live in the real world [emoji106]

Just to add, I've done it before and the floor is still ok from last February.

Thanks for your quick replies. It's 26m2 but I'm hoping that not all needs doing, like you say bits here and there.

It's the same pal. Sometimes referred to as screeding too but calling it that upsets some people who do proper sand/cement screeding!!

Yeah sorry as mentioned it's the same.
