And then what about water proofing? Do you not have pre formed trays over there ?

Mud fixing is sand and cement, maybe with aggregate in for bulking.
I've watched some good vids where they can build up very uneven floors using semi-dry mud and then tile adhesive onto the tiles, bedded into the mud with a rubber mallet.
Bit of a mix of old-school and new.

These ladies could do with a few lessons perhaps:

mud in america is sand and cement whether that be render or screed.

Isn't "thick mud" used as a render, with added lime?

nothing preformed, the procedure is the same as the screed, when dry, waterproofing as you do.
some clients do not trust you even waterproofing, then they place a stainless steel tray, before the screed.
We must also say that here, only 10% of the bathrooms, to shower tile floors, prefer ceramic shower, or fiberglass.

Mud is sand and cement - all our shower bases were once done in 'mud'..........

I still do the odd one but customers now spend hundreds of pounds buying shower bases.....wish I was a shower base supplier.......

I find it very un usual that In Italy they don't have pre formed wet trays, and especially in America.
