This is one clandestine thing we seem to run into often. When you tear out a shower for remodeling you need to make sure your backer board is spanned from stud to stud. I have seen many “professionals” try to caulk the edge of the backer board to the edge of the drywall and while that does hold for a while, it is destined to fail.
Always, grab a 2x4 and add a stud where it is needed. This is an easy, cheap and permanent fix for this simple problem!!
Needless to say, whomever forgot the stud also forgot a paint brush. My best guess, they used a sponge if not a wadded up t-shirt for a waterproofed applicator. Who knew there was such comedy in the tile game???
If you’re going to walk a mile, walk all 5,280 feet with pride.
