Bath plus shower conversion

I recently plumbed my bath to include a shower. I added the piping through the wall inside of the closet on the opposite side. Being that it did not have a shower before, the walls are only tiled about half way up the wall. What would be the best way to protect these walls from water

Is that green board above the tile? I doubt that it's regular sheet rock.

Pulpo, I would say it is regular sheet-rock. By the looks it seems late late 50's early 60's decor. Lets assume it only sheet rock. So what are experts recommending? Kilz? or some such brush on or cut and replace?

A plastic surround is another idea. I don't know if regular dry wall can be sealed to prevent damage.

Shower Curtain Tension Rod Installation

on Oct 15, 2001

Help! I'm using a tension rod for my shower curtain between tile walls and it keeps falling down. I'm using the lightest shower curtain I can find. Any suggestions on how to keep it in place without drilling holes in the tiles for a permanent rod?

hey guys i seem to have a problem with my brand new shower door (pivot type door).it cannot seem to stay closed when i close the shower door it just slowly opens itself.there is no locking mechanism in place,in the shop display it would scrape the bottom of the door area but would be closing,mine doesnt scrape anything.the only way i am managing to keep it closed now is by puting cardboard between gap where door meets the door panel on wall area.
