Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Use wedi boards 12mm and before tiling use mapei waterproof kit, it is a sort of paint with a tape that goes into corners and make the wall watertight.
I did mention Mapei but you can buy any tanking kit from any maker.
I use Mapei o Bal.
Wedi sells their own tanking kit as well.
