I am doing a shower over bath. Should I use blue board or bathroom plasterboard? I want to tile over, so which waterproofing product would be suitable for this application?

Woody, blueboard is a 7.5mm think external sheet for texture coating, usually a 6mm sheet of villaboard would be used in a bathroom situation. As far as paterproofing goes, I've used WPM300 from fullers, the primer is a 50% water dilution with two topcoats at right angles.

Is it mandatory to waterproof a bathroom. My builder tells me that is only required for the upstairs bathroom not he bathroom downstairs (which is being renovated).

By the way they are going to put bathroom cement sheeting down and tile over it.

As i understand from reading the BCA, all "wet areas" within a building must be waterproof or water resistant.
A wet area is defined in the BCA as:
Wet area means an area within a building supplied with water from a water supply system and includes bathrooms, showers, laundries and sanitary compartments. Excludes kitchens, bar areas, kitchenettes or domestic food and beverage preparation areas.
It then goes on to detail exactly what the requirements are for each area..
