[QUOTE="1animal1, post: 853814"] Hi, I am after a little advice on the best way to proceed. I am currently tiling my en suite (as can be seen in other posts) with Porcelain - the room is shaped like a backward P with the bottom leg of the P area being the shower cubicle. At present I have refitted and finishing tiling the main area so that we can use the room for washing/toilet - but the shower part will not be fitted out until i can extend it deeper into the airing cupboard behind it (it's only 700mm wide so extending from 800mm long to 1200mm)- this won't be for a while as i need to repipe the entire central heating before having a new central heating system refitted in the garage, freeing up the ACupboard. The walls have been totally stripped of their previous tiles, leaving the paper backing, this has had small holes filled with cement based Mapei and the whole lot primed with Primer G, along with the rest of the room. The walls are made up of 3 pieces of 20mm plaster board D&DB'd (no battons) so removing one layer is a massive pita - especially now as I have tiled the back wall up to the shower up to a piece of square trim, a divider between the porcelain and the soon to be fitted 'ceramic' shower 600x200 mosaic effect tiles. Obviously i cannot start fitting any of the shower tiles until i have fitted a shower base which will either be a single piece slate, or tanked and tiled. My question is, what will be the best way to tank the new shower area given that removing boards and replacing with some decent 'Water proof' boards is going to be a huge pain. If this is the only way then fair enough as i'll be able to cut the board near the square trim (upto 6 inch away) and butt up to the old board using D&DB (no other way to fix to remaining 2 plasterboards) - but my preference would be to tank as is - is this possible in theory? Hopefully I've explained this ok? Many thanks in advance Tim [/QUOTE]
