Hello @patric

Thank you very much for sharing your question about screeding your bathroom floor. I suggest removing as much of the old tile adhesive on the floor so that you won't have any weak spots when you screed your floor. I recommend using the Dunlop Multipurpose Floor Leveller. This product will have to be ordered at the special orders desk at your store if it's not stocked as a regular item.

Generally, the floor has to be thoroughly cleaned before you place a primer such as the Dunlop 4L Multipurpose Primer. This enhances the bond between the substrate and the floor leveller. You then set up a guide or level of how far up the floor leveller has to be. 

Here is a link to our best advice: How do you level a floor?
