I would like to replace the wall covering around my bathtub with tiles or a surround but one of the walls is not square which creates a problem at the corner. How could I fix this?

Terry,

Depending on the severity, it may be best to remove the wall covering, and sister a 2x4 to the existing studs ensuring that the new placement is square and plumb, then recover with drywall/durock and finish it up.

Good Luck!

Thank you for the advise. That was what I was thinking I had to do, but it's always good to see if there are any other options.

Best get to work,
Thank You again
