I am getting ready to tile my bath tub. I have put up backer board and everything. All of the boards are secured firmly to the studs, however two of the three seem to be bowed. With the long wall of the tub being wider at the top than the bottom by almost 1/2". I was wanting to know how much this would effect my tile layout and if anyone had any tips.

You are saying warped, but are you meaning, out of square?

By your description, You worried about the corners, and having a slight angle on the cut tiles in the corners.

Find the middle of the wall. Allow for you grout line thickness split in half. Mark a vertical line at that point and start your tile there and work to the edges. Don't start in the corner!

Thanks that was helpful. But, not only are they out of square but they have a slight curve to them. I was not sure if this would make a big difference or not.
