Go back to home repo and get a new bathtub instead.

I'd remove the tiles and start over, it's not much harder and the result
should be a lot nicer. Another option is a fiberglass shower stall, you
can get them now that are made of a floor pan and several interlocking
wall panels. One piece units are available as well but much harder to
fit into existing structures. I had to open a wall to get one in.

Okay, here's what I want you to do:

1. Head to Wal-Mart and buy a jar of white-out.
2. Go home, open the jar, apply the white-out.
3. After about fifteen minutes of the white-out not working, get
frustrated.
4. Throw the white-out out in a fit of fury.
5. Realize that now would be a good time to relax to some music.
6. Call 1-800-XM-RADIO and subscribe to XM music.
7. Mellow out to XM, then come back to the newsgroup.

Hope this helps
