I have been forced to rip out the tile surrounding my bathtub due to a
serious leak up from the tub 30". The water saturated the three (3)
layers of sheetrock behind the wall and so I ripped that out as well.
The supply pipe to the shower head was loose so I ripped through that
sheetrock to secure the pipe. I should replace the tub because it is
aqua and chipped (I haven't been able to find the right color patch). I
have never done a project like this and will be doing it by myself (I
guess I'm a little stubborn). My question: should I install new tile
because it will be prettier but potentially quite difficult, or put in
a tub surround which would be quicker and easier but not nearly as
pleasing to look at? Thanks for your time.
