Please can anyone tell me what they think the best board to use behind
the tiles of a shower?

Obviously, regular plasterboard is cheapest, but useless if it gets
wet. Can it be coated with PVA to help?

Also, can the tiles be fixed straight to the board or is it essential
to plaster first? Obviously, I am wanting to do as much as I can
myself and whilst the plumbing etc is not a problem for me, a lot of
plastering will be.

TIA.
