order of rental repair
Hello,
I was planning on retiling a home. The current tile is popping off and cracking in many spots all over the home and the tenants just moved out. While tenants were living there tiles were cracking at the bottom of the shower. I wanted to also address this while it's empty. I removed the cracked tile and found it's wet inside, and there is some mold on the inside. The person I spoke to said it's denshield inside- there is mold on the denshield. I imagine the base of the shower has this because tiles are cracking around the base. So instead of a repair, I am assuming I need to completely redo the shower. Does that sound/ look right?
The tile person I am speaking to- asked me about starting the tile work next Monday. Initially I was ok with that- because I thought the shower would be a small repair. But From what I have read online ( since I don't really know myself) you should do the shower re-do before you do the floor tile redo. The tiler told me he just covers his walkways and it's no big deal to do the floor tile before you do a shower re-do?
Anyone have experience with this?
I am hesitant about that- also because I want to get multiple quotes for the shower re-do and if they start the tile demo (of the home) next monday- I would have to wait on getting shower estimates.
And then if I need to re-do the shower I was wondering what good options are- I am assuming retiling it would be the most expensive.
I am looking for durability, good quality/ not leaking again, price, and decent warranty. Any recommendations for what to re-do the shower with? Thanks
