who to call to fix shower basin?

Quick search didn't find anything about this, so here goes.

I'm trying to coordinate repairs on a nasty leak we've had into the basement for a little while now. We finally tested some things out recently and realized it was coming from one of the showers on the first floor, most likely a failure in the shower basin, meaning, as i've been told, all the bottom tile needs to be torn up, a new basin dropped in, and everything retiled.

So my question is, who exactly does all this work? I've gotten the name of some trusted plumbers in the area that I assume could do the actual shower basin work, but what about the tile? Could the plumpers tear it up themselves and then relay it, or only tear it up, or only come in after someone else (who?) has torn it up? Any help is appreciated.

Maybe a qualified "home repair" person. Sounds like it's not really a plumbing problem so why spend that kind of money on someone who can't do a complete job. Check with your local hardware store and see if they can recommend someone.

You could always do it yourself. I'm betting that Chapel Hill has a Home Depot, see if they're having any tiling siminars.

tile work is done by a flooring company. contact a few local ones to get an estimate. though you should be really sure of the basin being ruined and that its not just a leak at the drain before going through all the effort.
