curved bathroom wall around bath

[apm]

Hi all, new here- looks like a great forum.

Basically, we've just had our bathroom plastered, and the plasterer has made a lolvely job of maintaining the curve between two of the walls (there's a redundant rusty iron pipe underneath, which is why the curve is there). Trouble is, this curve is in the corner above where the bath will go, and thus needs a waterproof covering. I was planning to tile, but the curve will make it very tricky. I'm reluctant to hack away the fresh plaster and actually like the curve. We were thinking of using mosaic tile possible to cross the curve, but any other suggestions would be welcome. Are any of the bathroom paints waterproof enough to use on their own? We have a separate shower cubicle, but the bath will get some kiddy use, so this area will need to be pretty waterproof.

Many thanks in advance for suggestions,

Alex.

Many thanks for your response. I had thought of using paint, but the wife is concerned about the waterproofing as we have had some leakage already through the wall concerned. I'd be happy with paint, but there you go!

For information, we have happened upon a solution- we will use a thin piece of wood to turn the curve into a flat diagonal across the corner, which means we will be able to tile all the way around the corner using regular tiles.

Thanks again,

BW to all,

Alex.
