Trying to help my parents replace a hot tub with an easy entry shower. They know what they what and have pictures to show the plumbers. The planned shower would be the entire length of the current tub The issue so far is not the plumbing but the tile. They have a tile floor and floor to ceiling tile for whole bathroom. The issue is when the hot comes there section along the back wall with no tile. My parents hope is to fill that spot with something close 30 year old tile. Both plumbers have balked at doing this. They insist that all the tile on the existing walls be replaced. They greatly increases the cost of the project . They will not do the project without doing they tile . I think thet answers they give on why is resale value goes down and their reputation is hurt for :sloppy work
My questions:
1) Is this common practice for plumbing contractors to take this approach
2 Is it common practice to replace all the tile. My parents have no plans to sell the house for hopefull a long time
3) If they do not re tile what are the options for the blank space
Thank you
