How should I prepare my bathroom for tiling?

Question

How can I waterproof a bathroom before having tiles fitted to ensure the room is prepared?

John · Answer

Ensure the walls are free from dust and dry. Apply a primer to the walls to be tiled, two coats. Apply a paint on tanking system together with tape provided to dab into the coating whilst still wet in any internal corners and where the bath or shower tray meets the wall. Allow the tanking system to dry overnight before fixing tiles

Barry · Answer

Good morning you need tanking kit or depending on state of walls could replace plasterboard with hardiebacker

Jason · Answer

Ensure walls are as flat as possible 
any old adhesive/grout removed 
tiling to get the best finish is all about preparation
once walls are flat any holes filled use a suitable wall stabiliser or pva to seal in any dust etc 

hope this helps

Tanking the area and use waterproof membrane before tiling

Michael · Answer

You can buy a waterproof paint and brush it on, but that's mainly for wet areas such as the shower and bath but if your bathroom, in general, is damp, give it some ventilation before priming but make sure you wash your bath or shower tray after priming.

Use moisture plasterboard and make sure all the boards are staggered and tightly fitted. If the tiling is correct and grouped correctly then everything sealed correct you shouldnt have any issues (unless its plumbing)
