I recently installed a new tub and hardibacker board and have a small peice of wall at the base of the tub that will be next to impossible to install tile on. I was considering using PL to attach a small strip of cement board - but I do not know what to do about the tile ? The bathroom will have tile 4' up the walls
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with this ?
Also curious whether I should be attaching a corner bead there as well - Thanks !
It's thin but still possible to tile. A thin strip of backer glued and screwed to the corner ( it will the wider by 1/2" with the drywall on the other wall) and tiled.
Alternatively you could just drywall that strip and the tile would go across the top of the tub to the corner.

It would be nice if it was a "little" wider, so if it's possible you could also shim that entire left wall by adding 1/2" or 3/4" onto the top and bottom plates and those studs before you drywall. That way you wouldn't have to trim a vinyl corner bead or be working with such narrow pieces of tile.
Originally I had planned to simply use a construction adhesive to attach a thin strip of cement board and clamp it there. I wasn't going to try to screw it in with a fastener as I believe it would break. I never considering shimming the wall, I would also have to bring out the space above the tub too - but it's possible. Last night I purchased a vinyl/plastic corner bead - this was recommended over the metal bead by the guy at Home Depot mainly because of the proximity to water. I was planning to use this as the transition after the cement board is firmly attached
To be honest, I'm not doing the tile, I have a person who actually does tile for a living coming in, but I'm trying to make things as easy as possible and obviously I want it to last. To me, that looks like a tough peice to place, but I'm sure it's possible - it's about 1/2 "
Very simple question I hope. I have seen thin (1/16" or less) plastic panels used as backsplash in apartment/motel kitchens and bathrooms. The material is glossy, and the ones I have seen are colored (white, beige, etc). What is this stuff called/where do I get it? Thanks!
Hi,
Can anybody offer advice and experiences painting bathroom wall ceramic tiles?
I like to paint some 20 year old beige type ceramic tiles white.
It seems that there are specialized products also used for bathtubs.Either roll-on or spray cans.
