In our last home we had problems with a leaky shower. We bought 10 year old home this fall (which is why I had to sell my car...SIGH). The house was great except for the master bath it looked like it needed the grout cleaned and re caulked, sadly not this turned into a project a little larger than what I had expected. I was looking at it one weekend ready to tackle it pulled up on the marble threshold and it just gave way, was stuck down with what looked like bulldog grip, I guess to hide the broken moldy tiles underneeth.
Ended up rebuilding the shower with the schluter kerdi system, rather than repeat the same modly mess 10 years later. Technically now my shower is waterproof for life, or until I want to renovate the bathroom again :)
Below is my somewhat crappy documentation on the whole thing with photos.
