My client had a tub with a few tiles coming loose. I had hopes of being able to remove them and glue them back into place then seal them well.
The plaster was deteriorated. I removed what was loose and put a fan on it overnight to dry out the lath and studs.
I used a setting type of plaster to replace what was removed. Then replaced the original tiles and sealed everything up. I used a high quality caulk (not silicone) on all the places water was leaking in so that this problem won’t happen again.
