Well, yes, you'd think so wouldn't you?
The inataller (!) originally used ordinary plasterboard around the bath - including the area for the shower. He tiled over that (with the results shown on page 1 of this thread) and was told to rip it all out and go back to the studwork and re-board.
Somebody must have said something to him because he re-boarded with Knauf Moisture Panel (the blue/green, 12.5mm thick stuff) and made a comment that it would make the space tighter as the panel was thicker but he "didn't want to compromise the integrity of the wall". He must have used the 9.5mm thick plasterboard originally.
So, nearly at the end of week six, still not a properly working bathroom - let alone a finished bathroom - and I haven't heard from Wickes Customer Relations since Tuesday lunch-time (nearly 48 hrs ago). There has been no work done on the bathroom since Monday 6th.
Can anyone PM me a Twitter adress for the Wickes CEO - David Wood? I think I'll try going public on social media with this. I've had a look for him on Google but not turning anything up. I have an email for BBC Watchdog sitting on the runway ready to go!
Legally, I guess I can issue a small claims against Wickes - to have the bathroom re-done and sue them for the cost of putting right this farce?

Even the green MR plasterboard is not advisable in a wet area and especially without tanking.
I always thought the 9.5mm board was just for ceilings?
