Hello and welcome..

Where did you get 15mm ply from..?

 

[pedro]

the joiner who lives next door,he got it for me ,its what he said it was anyway

 

[DHTiling]

15mm is not normally available in the uk.. so worth checking..

The adhesive will dictate if the ply needs priming.. some advise and most don't..

[DHTiling]

Acrylic primer for the walls and nothing normally for the ply floor.. just depends if it is dusty or whether the adhesive says to prime.

 

[White Room]

Was the plasterboard dot and dab or on stud work.

 

[pedro]

thanks i will go get the primer and not pva ,i thought this was going to be easy ,you live and you learn eh

 

[pedro]

hi whitebeam , i think it is stud work, ie wooden frame work, im gonna have to replace the lot:yikes:

 

[DHTiling]

hi whitebeam , i think it is stud work, ie wooden frame work, im gonna have to replace the lot:yikes:

That is the quickest method... use 12.5m boards..

 

[White Room]

hi whitebeam , i think it is stud work, ie wooden frame work, im gonna have to replace the lot:yikes:

Yep

 

[pedro]

thanks for the help guys ,am i correct in thinkng you gotta use diffrent plaster board for bathrooms, green backed stuff or something like that, i dont think thats the technical name though:smilewinkgrin:

 

[DHTiling]

Not really no...

 

[White Room]

Depending how many are using the shower, green is moisture resistant board but is not water proof.

Could replace with hardie backer if it's within the shower area

 

[pedro]

yep, the water resistant stuff was what i was thinking of, i would like to thank you for your advice ,iv a feeling i may be posting again soon i may post some pics for you just for a laugh if i can bring myself to being a figure of ridicule man its real bad .

 

[DHTiling]

Or tank it.. if the shower is not used more than twice a day it should be fine for that usage.. but tanking is deffo a better option

 

[White Room]

We have probably seen worse, good luck and don't hesitate to ask if you have any further problems
