Hi, I am about to fit and tile a new shower area. Web comments on how to ensure it is watertight seem to conflict with each other and I'm now more confused so I'd be grateful for some expert advice.
The three walls of the shower area are:
1. new stud
2. old lathe and plaster
3. internal brick supporting wall - back to the brick because the plaster was blown.
I am concerned about the brick wall (the others I intend to fix water resistent board to tile onto). Do I need to render the wall before applying the board or can I fix the board to the bricks ? Do I also need to tank the walls in either case? Thanks for your help.
