The paint around the top of my shower surround started chipping due to exposure to moisture from the shower. I considered simply adding a bead of caulk around the top of the shower, but decided to add a single row of tile instead. I added a simple white border because I was primarily concerned about durability, but you could also use this technique with a colorful border as a decorating option.

You’ll need a few supplies before you start:

  • Tiles with one edge rounded (“bullnose”)
  • At least two tiles with two edges rounded (for the ends of the “row”)
  • Mortar/adhesive to attach the tile to the wall
