I have tiled to the ceiling in my shower room because this will stop the wall getting damp. I suppose the real answer to your question is tile as high as you wish. Consider how well your bathroom is ventilated.
To transform a shower from dull to dramatic, tile a shower wall. Here's how to do it: Step 1: Measure the walls carefully; shower walls are seldom perfectly square and plumb. Do a dry layout of the tile (including spacers) on the floor using your measurements. Step 2: Working in a small section, spread thinset with a notched trowel and press the tile into place. Step 3: When the tile has set - typically about 24 hours - you can apply the grout. Mix grout in small batches that you will be able to use within 20 to 30 minutes. Step 4: Wait 24 hours and apply sealer to all the joints - and the tile if recommended. Natural stone and some other tiles will need a sealer to keep them from absorbing water. Gazed porcelain and ceramic tiles are already sealed.
Tile is glued onto a surface and then grouted. Both of these processes make it stay put very well. You can break it up with a sledge hammer, but then you will also need to replace the drywall. If you are redoing a shower or bath area, replacing the drywall usually needs to be done anyway.
