Hi all,
Took down some old tiles in my bathroom and plasterer came round to plaster the walls with gypsum thistle bond plaster, was going to plaster myself but it would have been the first time so i thought i'd watch someone instead - i know this plaster is not good when it comes to water (from what i've heard) so, even though i won't be using it as a shower as such, i thought it best to tank the bathtub. Thing is i can't (don't want to <.<) take the bathtub out from where it is, and the plaster has dried. I bought a kit from screwfix called Mapei shower waterproofing kit, and I wanted to lay down the tape along the vertical wall joints, and preferably the bath lip but don't think i can properly get behind it...
Any advice? I've attached a picture of how it looks ATM and the stuff i'll be using - any advice would be appreciated as the plasterer said to use PVA but i've heard this isn't a good thing. My tiles are 16kg per sqm and adhesive+grout will come to 4kg per sqm (i think 20kg per sqm is the max for plaster anyway...).
Thanks!
