Tub Surround

Installing a cultured marble tub surround (3 sections), maybe trimming ceramic tile in corners. Wondering if cement board would be a better backing that moisture barrier sheet rock.

Re: Tub Surround

While knowing where he is at would be helpful, it doesn't solve the issue that neither way (as described) meets code or best practices

So is this the same bathroom that you had to cut the top on?
