[QUOTE="DIY Worker, post: 925623, member: 51447"] I have now started my en-suite refurbishment project. Shower cubical out and old tray still in position. Tiles removed and am lucky the damage to paramount plasterboard is to a minimum. Slight depression from 1 to 2 mm skim plaster coming off. Going to remove the old adhesive by wetting with water. Paint removed from one wall (brick and plaster). I will use old tiles to check how good I am at cutting tiles. I have an electric tile cutter machine and manual kit. Question: What filler should I use to fill small damage to plasterboard? can I use the tile adhesive I am going to use for tilling? The plan is to use slow setting adhesive from Wicks or Weber make, any good suggestion. Thank the shower walls only with Aquaseal kit and remaining walls (plasterboard and brick/plaster wall with acrylic primer. Which is the best make primer? I will start to tile once the walls are prepared. Still, need to decide on the best slow setting advisive and grout. As i am using 400 x 250 x 7 mm ceramic tiles from B&Q with 3 to 4 mm spacer. Are the use of leveling spacer good to use for beginner DIYer? For plumbing, I am going to use compression isolating valves in the system for ease for future maintenance. I still have to take the tray out and see the condition of the floor. The old tray has been with sealing strips which very watertight. has anyone use this and which is a good make that i can tile over it? I still need to think of installing the tray to the wooden floor. What is the best sealer to use around the gaps and between the tray and the wall? Dow Corning was mentioned above, but what spec. See photos of my project. I will keep posting until i finish the project but need some professional advice on the above question. Many thanks for spending your valuable time.
