wet room

A shower is a place in which a person bathes under a spray of typically warm or hot water. Indoors, there is a drain in the floor. Most showers have temperature, spray pressure and adjustable showerhead nozzle. The simplest showers have a swivelling nozzle aiming down on the user, while more complex showers have a showerhead connected to a hose that has a mounting bracket. This allows the showerer to hold the showerhead by hand to spray the water at different parts of their body. A shower can be installed in a small shower stall or bathtub with a plastic shower curtain or door. Showering is common in Western culture due to the efficiency of using it compared with a bathtub. Its use in hygiene is, therefore, common practice.

    Can I use the wet area before it is tiled?

    Crazy question maybe, but can I take a shower in a completely tanked (with waterproof backerboard - not the cement-based stuff) wet area before it is tiled? I ask as there will be a delay before the tiler can come and tile and we need to remove the existing shower while we wait.
