Which grout? To bodge repair tiling on soggy plasterboard.

Never going to beat ripping the lot out, cement board, start again.

But in the mean time I need something to stop the water ending up in the kitchen.

I have 2inch mosaics on PB and the bottom two foot is shagged. Brick wall behind. Thoughts?

Looks like tilling. Nothing has fallen off, just a tad spongy when pressed hard.

That admix looks good. I've actually done the chop and mash some new board in ones already five years ago when I bought the house but am tryinftthe avoid it till spring.

Ruddy thing. There are 2inch so unlikely to break but a sod to clean up. Houses eh!

Very long delay and on the update, but to cut a long story short, I had to rip the lot out and start again.

Once I started digging it out it was much worse than last time, no huge surprise, so just bodging the bottom was right out.

Hacked out the whole back wall of the shower/bath including removing the showerscreen, found some 8x10" or something tiles that complimented the old 2" tiles, boarded out with a full sheet of the foam cement tile board, and retailed the lot including a reclaimed line of the 2" as boarder tiles to tie it all together.

For the side wall I only hacked out till I hit dry plasterboard, patched it with leftover tile board, and a lot of reclaimed grout removed tiles.

Got very luck on finding some complimentary tiles that where in stock at the display room, but still a hell of a long weekend for me and the parents!

Photos to follow if I get chance.

House completed six days ago, been in the new place ten weeks, happy days!
