Wait, so what kinda showers are recommended??? In the end of video I think I heard quickly acrylic or laminate? I just recently went through water damage in my home & definitely don’t want to experience that again, ever. But would like to upgrade my showers.

At BathNow, we only build acrylic or laminate showers. Our baths & showers have a watertight wall system, and will not ever leak. Won’t ever crack. We are based in the SouthEast (USA), but there are other companies i could recommend around the US. In my opinion, tile is hard to keep clean and is porous. Fiberglass can crack, & will inevitably dull over time.

That shower was definitely not constructed correctly. Whats the point of a waterproof rubber membrane if you’re going to put nails through it? They have nothing to help prevent weep holes being clogged on the clamp ring drain. They have no pre slope under the membrane, it isn’t wrapped up the wall nearly high enough. A shower waterproofed correctly will never do this. It is much easier to achieve nowadays with the modern waterproofing membranes like the schluter systems or go board products just to name a few, but this was just done incorrectly altogether. It doesn’t even appear that they had any waterproofing on the walls.

All too common unfortunately.

I was thinking the same thing. My Mom's house has a 60 year old 2nd floor shower which has never leaked and has never been re-grouted or re-sealed. She uses it daily. I had one put in my house 8 years ago and it now leaks into the basement.
