Nice. I will now be able to feel good at the thought of you soaping yourself steam free.

Almost finished bathroom ceiling .

Was worried ceiling speaker would be too heavy just to rest on plasterboard . So added a Marine ply base for it .

Sure I asked about this before. Everyone suggested plasterboard. Or do you mean specifically the speaker???

[PeterW]

Single speaker in marine ply and plasterboard ..?? 
 

I’m sure Adele won’t mind .... 

[Onoff]

I'm amazed at how good my Bluetooth speakers sound in the bathroom. I was worried they would sound tinny.

Got the UFH going too then?

[Pocster]

First round of ensuite tanking done .

Never really sure about this where you just glue bits of material down ....

[Pocster]

I’ve always been confused by the point of this . After all if water gets past grout / Mastik I.e the initial barrier . You have a problem anyway . As the shower tray sits on this - then any water here means everything above has failed . So is it just delaying the inevitable???

[Pocster]

No ones said anything - that means I’ve done it right !!

[Pocster]

Assume I should paint the inset with the water proof blue paste ? . Makes me wonder what the wall tile adhesive is actually going to stick to !

The (blue) tanking needs to be continuous. I think the theory is that you should also use the tanking tape at any change in materials say where mrpb meets the concrete floor etc. 

 

Guess you primed like mine before applying the tanking liquid?

 

You then prime again with tile primer (over the blue) before applying the tile adhesive. Wotsit to a blanket!

Didn’t prime . The tanking and backer board all from same supplier - no mention of priming ( unless as they state in their instructions you are using other mediums ) 

So I should ‘blue out’ the niche ? . I stuck the niche collar down with the blue and then went over it again .

 

May of mis understood the instructions so did a second tape / corner pieces at base .
