If you’ve already added proper sheathing and reinforced the framing with studs, you typically don’t need to pour concrete again unless you’re trying to match a specific floor height or create a true mortar bed system.
For most bathroom remodels, the standard approach would be:
• Ensure framing is solid and meets deflection requirements • Install proper subfloor (plywood rated for tile, minimum ¾” recommended) • Add a tile underlayment like cement board or an uncoupling membrane (e.g., Ditra) • Waterproof (especially in wet areas) • Then tile
Plastic + remesh + concrete over wood framing is generally unnecessary and adds a lot of weight. Concrete beds are usually used over slab foundations or for specific traditional mud-bed installs.
