Re: Le Plumber.........
This began as a serious conversational thread, but has descended into DIY nudge, nudge. What a shower!

What we use is WEDI - you can get it in thicknesses from 4mm upwards. You just stick it on your old tiles/walls - its great stuff. Its what all the tilers use. If you go to your local plumbing merchants they should have a catalogue they can give you. Otherwise they may have an online catalogue if you have a look

Re: Le Plumber.........
I have all my boards and what have you, But im having a bit of a problem sourcing the Wedi Washers. Best I get is you dont need them use glue and im not going to just use glue because half the shower is on to steel studs. Do you happen to know of any French Stockist that do online ordering as I cant seem to find a stockist list on the Wedi France site.
I have asked about before but nobody I know stocks them and even less want to order them. To be truthful, I've never seen anything fall apart because washers weren't used - everybody just seems to use tile mortar
Try your local builders yard - Doras, Point P, Pagot Savoie etc - I'm pretty sure you wont find any but you could always try and them to order some

I know what you mean - the germans and the swiss use the washers but in france they all say you don't need them

Perhaps posted from UK might have been a better solution, cost wise at least.
