Hi I'm redoing my bathtub surround (because I did it incorrectly the first time). Basically there is only 3" between the tub and the door frame. How much should I extend the tile past the tub? How thin should my door frame be? If I install the door frame this close to the tub should I use special wood proof material (all the trim I currently have is MDF but I've heard that's bad to use in wet areas).

I think I'd run the tile all the way out over the door frame. You definitely don't want to do mdf trim there. Go with natural wood, or one of the synthetic materials.
