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?

Had a tile shower stall--over time it was maintenance headache. Cleaning the
tile, regrouting etc. Had a problem that required one of two ways to
go----retile the stall or rip it out and go for an acrylic. Went for a
Sterling Neo-Corner acrylic shower stall. Haven't looked back since----it
was a pain to put in but it has been a pleasure-----squeegee after a shower
keeps it nice and clean, NO grout, no scum, no scrubbing the base. If
you're going long term do what you want, don't let short term dictate what
you end up with.
