Is there a way I can ensure the bathroom is been waterproofed properly?
I mean us there a certain wait period to let the prepared surface to dry before starting on fitting bath, toilet, vanity, etc?
its not so much a set time rather well dried and cured - this is based on water based product.
A 2 pack product would be quicker to cure to a workable finish as it a chemical reaction.
Generally the products are all water based.
With the water based product in the current warmth it should have a good cured surface within a day or two. I have used this product in winter and it wasn't fully cured after a week. We had to bring heaters in to finally get it to cure.
One time when we first started renovating concrete walled unit we pulled a tiles shower recess apart and found that the water proofing was still wet. I suspect that in this case they tiled to soon after the water proofing and then never fixed the actual leak which was in the low pressure pipe between the taps and the shower head. As a result it would have pretty well leaked again as soon as the started using it and the leak kept the water proofing wet the whole time until we pulled it apart again. This water proofing was only on the ground and 1 row of tiles up.
With you water proofing it will only be the walls around the top of the bath and the floor and a little up the walls around the room so this amount with the warmth of summer should not be a worry.

Great Thread!
For my education, ive avoided moving vanities etc in the past because I assumed (did I assume right?) that to move a pipe from right to left in this case is going to be extremely expensive and would require tearing the walls down and buying new expensive copper pipes
Also, what is teh bath frame made out of ? or how is it made,
Updating the thread with pictures.
The first picture is from Saturday and the one with tiles is from today.
Why is there a tap so high up on the wall with the window?
I would have assumed that this is the cistern tap but I think it's to high.
Also I would have moved the toilet to be on the other wall so toilet is facing out from between end of bath and wall. (not facing bath). If you are placing toilet this way then tap is definitely in wrong place.

Ok, im officiially confused, wouldnt moving the actual pipes even 10cm involve, tearing out the wall, buying custom copper pipes, installing it, and then re walling it?
obviously im not talking about changing tap heads or similar, just like how in this situation the vanity piping has moved from the back wall to the left wall and toilet piping has gone from the back wall to the right wall
The bathroom reno has been completed now. I will post the completed pictures soon. I realised that since I am using Bath-shower combo, I need a shower curtain or a bath screen. The bathroom door opens towards to the bath and I feel that a glass screen may be bit risky with tenants.
The shower curtain needs to rest on a corner curtain road.
Will curtain look good in a new bathroom?? If yes, where can I get a corner/L shape curtain rod and how easy are they to install?

Yes, since its a new bathroom, curtain might spoil the look of it. I will go for the screen.
That brings me to the next question:
- hinged screen or fixed screen
- frosted or clear glass?
