Tiling uneven walls shower.

You could have wrapped around the edge w the tiles for a neater look. This is a dusty job so use plastic to cover your doorways wear a respirator that s rated for dust cover the floor with a drop cloth and make sure there s plenty of ventilation. Mine is the same way because i used 3 4 thick tile on my wall. If any part of that should get wet you could have some issues.

Attach a straight board to the backer board along the line. You should have used the proper substrate for your shower walls. When you ended the tiles at the window why weren t they all cut evenly. If the shower base is uneven tiles will have to be cut to fit the last row.

Whatever you put there you are going to see the uneven tiles. With the uneven ceiling level you would normally level or laser a horizontal line that runs around the shower enclosure at the top of the tile if leaving a top border tile free see below then measure your row lines down from there to the bottom and start with any bottom trip and cuts and actually place the tile from bottom up to the top. I ended up going w a 1 thick basalt chair rail. This will provide a straight edge for the tile to follow and help support it while it dries.

Draw a leveled line where the bottom of the second row will fall. You still may be able to do it by removing the last tiles and redoing it. Begin by removing the old tile or the fiberglass shower wall. Also tile is heavy so put down blankets to protect the floors and tub from being damaged by falling pieces.
