Right Where do i start:

I've started my bathroom revamp. Had it plastered and new MR chipboard put down. This is where the fun begins.

I want to install electric under floor heating. I've ran the cable in the wall but need help on what to install under the cable/ontop the chip board floor apart from the primer in the pack.

Can i prime floor, lay UFH ontop chipboard then tile straight ontop?

I have 300x300 tiles to lay on the floor ontop the UFH. Also need help to what adhesvie to use?

I am going to leave the bathroom plain/painted walls with only the shower and bath to be tiled with same 300x300 tiles. Do i need to prime the shower wall (Plaster) before tiling. The bathroom wall is plain plasterboard, do i need to prime this also.

Last Problem: I have a wall mounted free standing bath with plastic surround. Do i install bath first then time or tile then fit bath to tiles?

Your help is much appreciated, i want to do the right job but not spend loads.

Should i just employ a tiler????????

reading this and your other post mate...


employ a tile fixer....

chipboard floors/normal plasterboard what thickness is it.../skim finnish on it as well with 300x300 tiles...

mate you would have been better asking for advice before even starting anything..
