You can do the tile yourself. Demolish (carefully) the wall, then get a good contractor to come in and do the greenboard if you're not sure you want to do that (but it isn't difficult). Before the greenboard, have a plumber look at the fixture and suggest the best repair or arrangement of pipes, fittings, and shower base. If you want to change out your shower and faucet fittings do it now! These fittings are not interchangeable and if you have Delta and don't want to keep Delta then find a good one and have the plumber put it on. I wish I'd known that before I had the greenwall put up. I'm stuck with Delta.

I put a lovely green Mexican tile in my hall bathroom around the tub, all the way to the ceiling. One of these days I'll get around to putting the blue tile in the master bathroom tub surround. The trade off--you get better tile but you don't necessarily get speedy service!
