The orange peel needs to be primed and top coated with satin, semigloss, gloss or eggshell paint. Not flat because its in a wet area. It's done all the time.

Plaster (which I'm guessing this is) properly cured is incredibly hard, not waterproof but if well painted, not damaged by high moisture.

You can install ceramic tile later if it is a hard plaster surface.
