Tiling floor, uneven
Having plyed the shower room floor I now find one section about 1 sq
metre is off the level by around 4mm. Too late to level under the ply. Should I level this up with tile cement when tiling or level up before tiling with product at hand: Floor tile adhesive, Mastercreet cement, One coat plaster |

Cement is too brittle, plaster won't last five minutes with people walking on it |

Let of harden overnight then tile as normal. Did the same here were 2 rooms had a 15mm step in the passageway between them (narrow thankfully) - tile adhesive used to form a 2' long ramp (that's invisible to all but a 6' level!) |
