We are pretty sure that we might have a termite problem in our tub/shower.
The walls are tiled and the other day the soap dish fell off from the tile as I was holding onto it. Well, we pulled off a few tiles around it and think we see some tunneling plus the wall above the tile can be pushed in with your fingers. We have had termite damage in another area of the house several years ago so we are thinking that we are going thru this again.
I think that if most of the tile wall is going to be ripped out that we might just remodel with a shower only. What comments or advice do you have when it comes to installing those modular type(fiberglass) showers or the type that come in 3 sections such as the Lasco brand. They also carry a shower pan that has a L/R drain opening but then I guess we would have to go back with tile with that.
We will have some expense coverage with our existing termite coverage but since we will still have to pay some out of pocket we are looking for a nice but not overboard on the remodel.
Any advice or comments would be greatly appreciated. This would all be professionally done as we are not DIY's at all!
