I recently ripped out a bathtub and surround from my basement bathroom. I want to put in a new bathtub and tile around it, but I am having a hard time finding information/advice on how to do this with concrete walls. I can't seem to find much information for this situation. What would be the best way to prep the walls and bring them out over the flange of the tub so they are ready for tile? From what I've read online, it doesn't look like I can mount cement board over top of the concrete/flange of the tub. Can I bring out the walls after I put in the tub with a new, level layer of concrete (or other material? not sure what it would be) so that I have a smooth, level surface that goes over the flange of the tub just like cement board would? Any suggestions would be appreciated.I also came across Utile that is a tub surround that is designed to look like tile that might also be a possibility that I could just mount over top of what I have now without too much work. I have sent an email to them for support on whether the Utile will work over concrete and if they think it will work.Here are some pictures showing where the tub would go. There are several holes in the wall and I still need to remove some of the old adhesive and tub surround from the wall.Edit: Fixed typosPictures via /r/DIY http://ift.tt/2rVI0ZH
