Tiles falling off 12mm ply....

[Qwerty]

Well I've made a start yesterday. ripped out all the ply, and then the tray wobbled..... blasted plumbers as well as the tiler now... I was cursing....... So I knew exactly what this would entail.... yep down to the kitchen, cut a nice hole in the ceiling to find the waste trap and disconnect it, then lift the tray out (dry set on chipboard.... and rocking like a good'un.. nice one), Then clean all the old Silicon off everything, board the shower walls, and then bed the tray down properly. So now I have basically re-fitted the lot, including repairing the new hole in the kitchen ceiling. Tiling it today
Here's a couple of photos after boarding:

What have you done to tank the aquapanel boards & joints?

That looks better. Shame that you cut a hole in the ceiling! You can undo the waste from the top.

I've read through this post and it's a bit of a funny one I'm bound to get sarcastic comments or the mick taken as every post I seem to make it feels a tad awkward perhaps I'm welsh and not in the "circle " but regards to all this shower business we all know wood is no good that's just nuts but all other trades should be educated in the art of wet rooms as plastered don't care I've gone to loads of jobs where they are boarded and plastered !! What I'm I supposed to do refuse it and sit at home plus the company I'm subbing for not their fault we are doing a housing site and they have wet rooms and it's for a big company and I'm sure they are plasterboard skimmed over but what are we suppose to do go to the site office and say that shower might leak they would tell me to get lost.

Im welsh too mike and I have had the odd sheep joke chucked at me lol if you work on site they just dont care about if its right or wrong they just want it tiled. I work on new build and nothing gets tanked or ever will. Private work I would tank. Its all ifs and buts. If it leaks then the plumber is responsible.
