Your not a tradesman are you?

Grout and adhesives are not waterproof and will absorb some water

Tanking membrane even when bought at retail price costs approx £50 per bathroom

Hardibacker board is not water resistant it will just not breakdown when wet unlike plasterboard

It absorbs water, but does not break down

I use it every day

It does not tank and seal a wall, a membrane or paint on tanking kit is needed

Sorry to muscle in on this thread but it seems relevant to my question... I'm about to have my bathroom refitted and all walls tiled to the ceiling. It will have an over bath shower and i was wondering whether i would need to use sealer/tanking/primer under tiles on all walls or just those around the shower area of the bath? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
