Hello all,
I've recently started re-modernising a bathroom and noticed that the wall behind the tiles had some play to it. I originally thought it was plasterboard but after a closer inspection, it was a damp proof membrane with what looked like sand/cement topped with a skim.
The membrane had perished in places which caused the wall the lose its key to the brickwork behind. Besides this the membrane was doing its job, there were no signs of damp in the bathroom, but saying that the tiling did stop at a meter for floor level.
Question 1) Can I just...
Option 1) Tank the brickwork followed by a dabbed board or sand cement with a skim finish.
Option 2) Use the Permaguard kit followed with a dabbed board and skim finish.
Question 2)
Is there anything I'm missing from the pictures provided.
Thank you!
