[QUOTE="DIY Worker, post: 923252, member: 51447"] I am planning to upgrade my en-suit room 1.5 m x 1.6 m. Ripping out old shower unit and the wall tiles surrounding the shower cubical. I will be fitting new shower enclosure 900 x 800 mm with new tray, retiling with ceramic 250 x 400 mm the shower area as well as the three full walls and half of the fourth wall that has window. Problem is I have honeycomb (Paramount) plasterboard wall on two walls and other walls are hard (brick) plastered wall. Question: if I damage the honeycomb plasterboard during removing of tiles, what plastering material should I use to patch any damage? Before retiling I will be preparing the wall with tanking material. Question: what is the best tanking product and sealing the tray to the wall surround? Other walls (currently not tiled) have matt paint and I will be tilling these walls. Question: how best to prepare the wall before retiling? What is the best powder adhesive and grout product I should use? The walls have about 3 to 4 mm deeps (above the buried CH pipe work) so I will be using the buttering process and probably tile levelling kit with 5 mm spacer. I am retired and want to save money by doing this project myself. I have read a lot about tiling, the above questions have not been answered properly. [/QUOTE]
