Hi all
Plans are afoot for a new bathroom.
currently, the whole room is tiled (diy job by the previous occupants....about 30 years ago by the looks of it). I am planning to remove the existing tiles, and re-tile the whole room.
i'm thinking white metro tiles with dark grey grout, with maybe a border/trim around the wall... perhaps a row of dark grey metro tiles.
Are these tiles of reasonable quality (apologies if the link goes against the rules) ?
Metro White Wall Tiles 10 x 20cm - Stonetrader.co.uk
The walls in my house are a little odd. External walls are 3 plys of plasterboard bonded together (19mm plus 2x 12mm) and supported at the top and the bottom.... no studs. Internal walls are prefabricated 9mm plasterboard held apart by wooden struts and like a cardboard honeycomb/eggbox type of filling. Apologies for the rubbish description, but the point is I cannot rip the plasterboard down and replace with new, so I will have to remove the existing adhesive the best I can. what is the best method for this?
The bath will be up against the main wall. this is an Interior wall, the wall is approx. 2 metres long, the bath will be a double ended bath, centered on this wall, and boxed in at either end. the shower will be a drencher coming out the ceiling to the middle of the bath. so the shower head will be in the center of a 2 metre wall. therefore, I was thinking that i'd only really need to treat this wall for shower purposes, rather than the side walls which would be a metre away both sides. does this sound reasonable?
for this wall, I had though about facing the whole wall with hardiebacker board, attaching it to the existing wall with a combination of screws into the wooden posts, screws using plasterboard drive in fixings, and a suitable adhesive. fit the bath in front of this wall, and tile straight onto this wall. I figured this may be a good plan, since it will give (if the hardiebacker product info is correct) a waterproof wall that is perfect for tiling onto.
Does this seem like a sensible plan?
Thanks
