I've gotten started on a master bath remodel project and one of the tasks is to install some tile above the existing fiberglass shower stall. Right now, the fiberglass walls end at about my eye height (I'm 6') and water ends up splashing onto the paint above the shower causing it to peel for about 1' above the end of the fiberglass. I'm planning to install about 3-4 rows of 4" tiles (which we already bought last year) to stop this problem. I'm hoping to install them right over the existing drywall which isn't damaged. I was planning to just scrape/sand the peeling paint and apply the tile directly. Anyone see any problem with this? Due to the thickness of the tile/drywall/shower stall, the only other option would be to actually cut out the drywall to install a cement board backer so it is flush with the drywall above.
