Need flooring ideas for bathroom

[Jerreemon]

Hello, 

I am converting an existing room into a laundry/toilet/bathroom (I am keeping the shower in the same place). 

My concern is having floorboards (on a slab) in a wet area. 

Ideally would rip up the floors and tile but budget won't allow. Any other ideas? 

I was thinking micro cement. 

Cheers,

Jerry

Thanks Jacob. 

According to the james hardie installation guide, they recommend using James Hardie Joint sealant, however this isn't sold in bunnings. 

Is this product an equivalent?

Im also going to waterproof this area following this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmrFUgI1C58. 

Can you confirm if I have the appropriate products?

Hi @Jerreemon,

The Crommelin 300ml Hybrid MS Polyurethane Sealant is suitable for the James Hardie ceramic tile underlay. It's an equivalent product. 

All the others are appropriate products, too.

The only thing I'll point out is that in some locations, a professional waterproofer could be required, and you might need them to sign off on the job for insurance purposes. So, it's best to check your local regulations and with your insurance provider before attempting D.I.Y. waterproofing.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
