A dependable base for your bathroom finish
Wall backing boarding creates a stable surface for bathroom finishes, particularly around baths and showers where walls are exposed to regular moisture. Depending on the location and the proposed finish, suitable moisture-resistant plasterboard or cement-based boards may be used. The right choice and careful fitting help prepare the surface for the next stage of the renovation; boards alone do not make a wall waterproof, so appropriate waterproofing and sealing may also be needed.
Bathroom wall preparation for Barnstaple properties
Whether you are updating a bathroom in Barnstaple or arranging work for a local business or public premises, the wall construction and intended finish should guide the choice of backing board. Care 4 Bathrooms Ltd can discuss the area being renovated, how it will be used and whether it is being finished with tiles or panels. We also welcome enquiries from nearby South Molton and across the EX31, EX32 and EX33 postcode areas.
Prepare bathroom walls before the finish goes on
Good preparation helps create a suitable, secure base for the chosen wall finish and can reduce the risk of problems caused by an unsuitable substrate. We assess the work area, fit appropriate backing boards and prepare them for the next stage of the bathroom installation. The exact approach depends on the existing walls, exposure to water and finish specified; any required waterproofing should be considered as part of the wider installation.

Common Questions
Do bathroom walls always need backing boards?
Not always. It depends on the condition and construction of the existing wall, where it is in the bathroom and the finish being installed. Care 4 Bathrooms Ltd can discuss the area and help establish whether new boarding is appropriate.
Which backing board is suitable for a shower or bath area?
The right board depends on the wall, its exposure to water and the proposed finish. Moisture-resistant plasterboard or cement-based boards may be suitable in different situations, but the board itself should not be treated as waterproof. Appropriate waterproofing and sealing may also be required.
