Found my tile shower to be leaking.. plumber in the house for another
project told me to break out bottom 6 inches of tile, and the floor
tile and he would install new pan.. then we tile back over and be done
with it. One I did that it was clear the wet wood continues up higher
than 6 inches..

Now my thought is that it would be stupid to try to repair and
re-tile.. and I should just remove all tile and replace with one of
those fiberglass insert jobs. Doesn't that make more sense?


One issue would be size. Fiberglass pans only come in certain sizes.
I'm just in the process tiling a mud-set shower that I built to replace
a tiny fiberglass pan shower. By going to tile, I could increase the size to the
largest that would fit in my available space.
