Advice for DIY install of bathroom and waterproofing walls - can I tile a dot and dabbed wall?

Silicone mastic or varnish or even water proof PVA
My choice would be first PVA then when dry mastic smeared on the surfaces

I've got a couple of those Lidl props. Bloomin useful.

Looking good.

What with?

I've also used neat PVA to seal the cut edges of chipboard units.

Just use silicone.

^ Silicone it. Get it rubbed in good.

Thanks for previous advice.

Got my worktop in and sink plumbed in tonight/last. Think the cold feed is kinked slightly so going to have to elongate it a bit. Could be tidier but it works.

Only ting left is to fit the bath panels (any tips for cutting them?)

That's banging. I have a lot of time for the plumbing too!

What worktops are they?

Worktop express solid laminate, basically layers and layers of laminate rather than typical laminate on a chipboard base. Got the cuts measured and cut to size once I fit the units and I drilled the sink/tap holes to suit (saves any errors in dimensions
