Water pipes badly laid

Hi,
I bought this refurbished house all pretty done. Then we had leaks due to plumbing, due to shower tray not fitted with ply underneath.
I asked the plumber to fit it. When he tried removing the shower enclosing the tiles broke. We then found out the tiles were directly fixed on the plaster (partion plaster) with no ply behind. So removing the enclosing breaks the tiles.
What's the best solution?
Thanks
Chitra

You don't put ply behind tiles. It's very common for people to tile onto plaster.
Best bet might be to try and get a clean edge somewhere and try and find out where your tiles are from to get some spares? Otherwise you'll end up riping them all off.Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.
