How prepare bathroom floor for waterproofing?

Aleksey Chugaev

Hi All,

I'm planning to do a bathroom reno and would like to do as much DIY as possible. I will get a licensed waterproofer, but I'd have to prepare the floor for them. As I understand, I'd have to

  • get rid of old tiles
  • remove whatever is under the tiles to reach the cement floor
  • level the floor if necessary

Anything else?

Also, there's tile skirting, and I guess it's fixed/glued to plasterboard(?), so if I damage it too much while removing skirting tiles, do I need to do something about it, like re-plaster?

Thanks for your help.
