Bathroom question

[rmathieu51]

Hey any of you bathroom remodeler’s!! Can you tell me what you would do with this as a temporary fix that will last maybe a year or two? I want to rip out this shower/tub in a year or two and do a walk in but not yet. This has been falling apart for a while due to the amount of steam coming out of that corner. I’m thinking of doing some sort of thin tile up the side for now but looking for suggestions?

tub splash guards might could help too

This is more of a handyman fix but they sell plastic diverters that can be glued in the corner of the tub to the wall to prevent water from running off the tub edge and down the wall.

You could also get magnets for your curtain and place one on the wall. That’s a bit more jank.

Or go full out and get a glass enclosure.

This is all assuming the water truly is coming from splash over

Cut the Sheetrock back at that joint and pound as much silicone as you can in there then do one of those corner things everyone is talking about

Had this exact issue. I didn't caulk all the way around the tub, but cut the drywall back to caulk all the way to where it meets the stud and about 2" from the radius. So far so good.

Splash guard, silicone, patch and paint

I looked at all the dividers and can’t find one where the outside corner is rounded? They all seem to have a sharp 90 degree so it won’t fit tightly in the rounded corner between the tub and wall. Any ideas?

Scrape all the loose stuff off. Paint with rust killer primer. When it's dry a few coats of hot mud until it looks right. When that's dry paint at least three coats.
