I've always re-tiled, so I removed the wall a little above the tile,
replaced it with green board (after sistering the studs to adjust for
thickness difference) and then tiled above that joint.


Do you typically sister or shim?


I've typically been successful avoiding that type of work for 40
years, but I never tried to shim existing studs.


Unless there's a structural issue, I always shim out the studs. It's
a great way to use up all of that scrap that's always laying about.
