    My builder isn't familiar with them and not keen to install.
    Anyone have any experience of them?
    Any advice/recommendations?

    Looks like a concrete frame, tanked then tiled. Nothing to complicated about it.

    I can understand why he'd be slow. A lot of tiles to leak or move.

    Ground floor maybe but I'd say it'd be a disaster upstairs.

    The bathroom is downstairs.
    I like your opinion Dtp1979 :)

    If it's tanked properly it'd be bullet proof. Look up fibre glassing tanking. Then use swimming pool grade adhesive and grout with decent tiles

    i agree with dtp1979,fibre glass tanking kit is the way to go.The downside is that it will cost 300 to 400 approx to do this,also bal fastflex adhesive should be used,100 euro approx.Cheaper option is a bal tanking kit used with a flexibale one part adhesive,total cost tanking kit 90,adhesive 30euro.its nowhere near as good as the fibreglass though.
