Default tiling in bathroom

Hi,

I would appreciate some advice on tiling my bathroom

At present, I have a new bath, WC and sink fitted with new plumbing -
the walls behind each of these is at the moment bare brick (quite
uneven as its an old house), the back of the WC cistern is just under
20mm away from the wall and the baths one edge is butted up to the
brick work.

After searching other postings on here, it looks like the best options
for fixing the tiles are waterproof plasterboard or "Wedi" board
http://www.wedi.co.uk/home.htm

My question is : is there enough space behind the WC to dab the board
onto the brickwork and afix tiles? The wedi site recomends 10mm board,
and I wonder how thick it will be combined with the dabbing and tiles
etc. Also, with the bath butted up against the wall, should it stand
off the wall slightly to allow for boarding and tiling? or will I get
away with it?

Any help appreciated.

Regards

Rich
