Are you ready for the NHBC standard changes?
NHBC Standards 2023 Clause 9.2.6 ‘Ceramic wall tiling’ advises that gypsum plasters should not be used where repeated or persistent wetting may occur and also that in wet areas, e.g. showers, backing surfaces may require protection with a suitable tanking system.

The Waterproof Construction Board System for Creative Design
Walls surrounding a bath or shower may be subjected to repeated or persistent wetting; therefore, the substrate for any tiling needs to be carefully selected.
JACKOBOARD® makes an excellent choice due to its waterproof, thermally insulating and truly lightweight attributes.
Thanks to their extruded polystyrene foam core and special coating on both sides, JACKOBOARD® construction boards are the ideal base for plaster, tile and render. The surface of the JACKOBOARD® system provides a strong primer and can be used on virtually any substrate. At the same time, they are waterproof, thermally insulating, truly lightweight and easy to install.
JACKOBOARD® is the leading UK brand of polystyrene-based construction boards, wet room tile backer boards and other associated products for the tiling industry.
