: I want to install a new tub surround in a bath with slightly damaged tile. The directions are not clear as to what prep is necessary. Do i have to remove the tile? It sounds like i must, but is phrased vaguely, so i am unsure. Thanks for being here! I've been trying to find the answer for a while with no success.
I would think the manufacture wants all tile removed and I would remove the old sheetrock (whats left of it)and put new water proof sheet rock on. This is to insure you that you will have a lasting job. Hope this helps. Dale Peck LMP
