I'm a self-employed contractor and this was the biggest job I've done so far. I guess this still counts as DIY since I did it all by myself? (except for the electric)

What materials did you use for the wall work?

[โ€“] Perspectivist@feddit.uk 10 points 4 months ago

Tile - mortar - water proofing - primer - plaster board (wet space rated) - plywood.

Normally I wouldn't use plywood there but it was under the old tiles and plasterboard so I just left it in place.
