small strip of wall next to the tub is molding

[George P.]

all these old houses have the same issue. the wall is 2" deeper than the tub and you cant put tiles there to prevent drywall damage.

you fix the drywall and it comes back. i am guessing the tub has a slight pitch and that's why the splashing water is rolling towards the outuside of the tub.

see the picture.

the corner guard is not helping, as you can see

anywhere to fix it? i have this issue on two houses.

I have older houses and have had similiar issues. I went and bought a vinyl garage door frame seal. It is about 7/16" thick and 1.5"-2" wide ane has the rubber seal flap on it. I cut off the rubber seal flap and install that from the top of the baseboard to the top of the tub surround.  Then silicone the seams. I get the one with a woodgrain finish and in white vinyl.It looks great and keeps the water away. Hope that works for you as it looks like it should.
