I purchased a 3 piece tub/shower surround and replaced the walls with green board,patched all the seams and corners with drywall mud,sanded and ready to install 3 piece unit.
Installed first wall opposite fixture wall,drew level line all around the top of the rest of the walls.drilled holes for fixtures and went to put tile wall on for glueing and noticed the top of tile wall is 2" shorter from my level line.
The tub is not level,what can I do besides tearing everything out and staring over, to install back wall correctly?

God made moulding for a reason and this is it. Check and see if there is a waterproof moulding available for the kit, if not I am sure someone makes it. Lowe's or homedepot should have it. If they do not get online and check, Good luck

Thanks for the answer,
Would just like to run this by you and get your feedback,
What if I were to glue some ceramic tile to the wall above the shorter wall to make up the difference,sort of like a molding,something to match the tile look of the surround?

I think I would see if you can remove what you have put up and try and trim the panels somewhere, and "split the difference" on your out of level tub.

I don't think you would be happy with trying to fix something that far out of square.

Start by drawing several level lines on the wall, which will give you some reference points that you see as you tweak the panels. I would always tack the panels in place, until you are satisfied with the fit.

Good Luck

When a tub is this out of level about the only thing that really works is to tile the entire tub surround area... this way only the bottom row of tile shows the defect in level.

To save money in this case you could set a cheap tile over the greenboard or you could step it up to professional job and remove greenboard and install cement board. If this was me... I would probably go with the greenboard. You have done so much of the work at this point. If you do this let me know so we can discuss wicking of grenboard and how to prevent it...ok?

Otherwise, I think splitting difference as suggested by Home repair (WELCOME HR.. :) ) is the way to go!

Let us know...
