Tub shower surrounds are a popular bathroom fixture that are in most of the homes here. They can be tiled or acrylic but tile is a more desirable finish because of the custom look and other options available with ceramic or porcelain tile. When tiling one of these alcove tubs, special care and planning needs to be taken in order to achieve a successful installation. Many times, the tubs do not fit properly into the framing opening, leaving a gap between the tub lip flange and the wall to be tiled. Wet shimming tile backer board like Laticrete Hydro Ban Board is a good option to bring the wall out flush with the tub lip.
In this video I show how this is done!
