I put a new tub/shower surround (the pic I posted was before I installed it)-
So the surround is in.... the area above the surround about 60" wide bu 18" tall- (it's the previous drywall)- I wanted to give it more finished look- I was wondering it putting tile board or something similar there (hopefully white)- to glue up there- It's not coming directly in contact with water but would need to be moisture resistant- Any other thoughts on what I can install?

I don't see any problem using tile board.Make sure you caulk the joints and edges.

Not sure what tile board you are referring to....but nrp board with accompanying trim is excellent in those settings. Also, my house being built "back in the day", I have a shower unit with about the same space overhead....for which the cure at the time was green board with tile glued to it.....and it has been 30 plus years of likely 6 showers a day no worries. But given that times change, a newer product should be your first choice. Ron

I would need a pic of the tub the way it is and what you want to put up. But it sounds like it might not give you the look you are looking for.

Glued on or nailed on enclosure.
Need that picture.

I'm assuming this is what he's putting up.It's a water resistant board that looks like tile.

That's just some ugly stuff. Looks like a bathroom in a double wide.

I was just answering his question.Making no judgments on aesthetics.

I know. I was just making a comment on aesthetics.
