Hey all,
I'm agonizing over how to go about this project. I have a shower where the tile is good but the glass and aluminum are a mess. It's a 1/4 round shape with a fiberglass base. What I'd like to do is replace the base and glass walls (using a kit I got from Home Depot) but keep the tile.
I haven't broken into this yet, but I'm suspecting that the existing fiberglass shower pan has a flange which extends behind the bottom row of the tile. So this really makes me wonder about how to go about it:
- Can I usually cut behind the bottom row of tile to free this flange, or would I need to remove the bottom row of tile?
- Is it possible to remove and replace the tile on the bottom row?
- is a full re-tile job enevitable here?
Thanks all!
