We recently moved house, the en suite was nice stuff, but really badly fitted, around 5 years old.
I've started demo-ing the lot, main goal is to fit a wet room/ walk in shower like we had at the old place and to drop the floor level so it's not a 20mm step up from the bedroom carpet.
I do have a couple of questions for the more experienced among us
1, I've made quite a mess of the plasterboard, so intend to just redo every wall. Green 12mm square edge vapor board the stuff to use? 3 walls are stud, the 4th is dot and dab.
2, The original subfloor (guessing chipboard) has 18mm play laid on top. Can I remove both subfloors, refit with 18mm structural ply, then 6mm hardibacker, flex levelling compound with heating matt in then tile? That would drop my height difference by around 10mm.
