I've been using Mapei Pro Flexible powder adhesive and Mapei Ultracolor Plus grout from TIle Giant recently - all good and very keenly priced too.

In a shower area with the tiles a cement based flexible addy, anything by mapei, weber, Ardex or BAL, you may want to think about tanking the area too with a liquid membrane all of the above do these too, grout to match

thanks for the answers,

Does anyone recommend a particular one? or is it just down the personal preference with those that you have mentioned?
