Default Tiling on particle board

We are planning to replace the tiling on the bathroom floor in our
house. The particle board floor has already suffered a bit of water
damage in one spot (this I have attended to with a two-pot epoxy sealer,
which has soaked right in and made that patch very strong) therefore I
intend to make sure that the whole surface is properly prepared before
laying the new tiles. I could use the two-pot treatment, but it would
turn out quite expensive. I'd be grateful for suggestions about the
most suitable type of product to use for this purpose. Thanks.


Ha'porth of tar :-)

Unless you're just slapping down some cheap tiles to tart up and sell the
place I'd really, *really* rip up the chipboard and put down at least WBP
ply to tile onto. Water *will* get past your tiles (or more to the point,
grout) and the chipboard *will* swell up and probably bugger up the tiling.
