Tanking all solid walls and floor?

[momer79]

Hi, We are redoing our main bathroom and looking for a second opinion on tanking. We have bought the following mapei tanking kit and plan to use it on all 4 walls after removing the old tiles.

Mapei Shower Waterproofing Kit - Screwfix

Order online at Screwfix.com. Easy to apply kit for treating commercial or domestic showers before tiling. Provides tough and durable protection against leaks whilst remaining permanently flexible. Contains primer, coating and waterproof jointing tape. Contains enough to waterproof a standard...

All the walls are solid brick and we will be tiling all walls.

1) Is okay to just tank around the bath and shower area? instead of tanking all walls?
2) We will be using click tiles on the wood floor boards. Do we need to tank the floor?

Thanks

Hi. You can tank any wet areas that could be subject to water ingression. No need to tank the floor…

Thanks Dave. Do we need to tank the area around the bath where there will be no tile?
