Hi,

Am shortly going to retile and refit our upstairs bathroom.  Historical 
frustration with my childrens' inability to keep the floor relatively dry 
means I want to pay special attention to floor/wall transition......whilst 
falling short of a full-on wetroom.

I plan to remove skanky old 7/8" floorboards and replace with 22mm ply.

Walls (poor condition chipboard from 60's timber frame construction) will be 
"lined" with 4mm ply.  Whole lot will be PVA sealed prior to tile 
installation.

Q.    Is there a "pukka" way to seal the corners.  Is there some kind of 
proprietry sealing stuff available.

A BAL WP1 tanking system (basically a bucket o' rubber and some 
fibreglass matting) will seal the walls and floor completely. I watched 
my tiler apply a coat and it seemed pretty straightforward (i.e. next 
time I'll do it myself!). Might be worth the extra cost and effort as 
you're protecting a lot of woodwork...
