Hello everyone,
We are currently in the final stages of renovating our bathroom.
We only want to tile the area behind the toilet and the wet zone.
Usually, there is a tile backsplash above the bathtub, but we don’t really like that.
Throughout the entire house, the walls are only plastered and painted. We want to do the same with the bathroom walls so that it visually matches the rest of the house.
Now the question:
Is it possible to seal the plaster surface around the bathtub to be waterproof and water-repellent without affecting the paint finish?
For plaster, we used red band plaster throughout the house, and plan to use the same for the bathroom.
Thanks in advance for your answers.

And regarding waterproofing, just extend the liquid waterproofing layer beneath the plaster. I also tiled a 20cm (8 inches) strip above the bathtub, then it continues up into the sloped ceiling. From there, it’s plaster, although a cement-based plaster with some dispersion additives. Under the plaster, I extended the waterproofing layer to about 1.60m (5 feet 3 inches). This has proven effective, especially when my kids take a bath.
