    What should be done w/ this gap between the tub & wall?

    That really sounds like the best idea, so far. The thing that was bothering me the most about this GAP, is that it IS so LOW DOWN from the back edge of the tub. Like it could get really mucky down there, over time. I like the raise it up idea a lot. I guess we'll have to raise up the edges all...

    What should be done w/ this gap between the tub & wall?

    Thanks for the backsplash advice. I know it looks like a sink, in my terrible pictures---I'm bad at resizing--but it's a bathtub! The narrow area is between the one end of the tub & the wall. I guess were pretty much stuck w/ just adding more mortar & tile, huh!:D

    What should be done w/ this gap between the tub & wall?

    We installed the jet tub too close to the wall--to make room for the shower--and now have this gap. There's Redgard on top of the caulk, tape & thinset. Should we just put on more mortar & thin strips of tile? I'm attaching pics, so you can see. THANKS! Elizabeth

    My 1st post & boy do we need help!!!

    Hey, THANKS for the reply! The other question I have about the bullnose tile at the top of the wall tile is...is it okay if part of the tile is on the sheetrock? Will the mortar hold it to the sheetrock? Could we use liquid nails & caulk? We would love to bypass having to add more cementboard...

    My 1st post & boy do we need help!!!

    Okay, here's what happened. We put up new walls in the bathroom. The entire wall is sheetrock, except in the addition, which is WonderBoard. Then we decided to tile the walls about halfway up. Then we realized we had to have cementboard on the walls where the tile was to go. So we, mistakenly, I...
