I am a DIYer, even if it means I end up doing extra jobs due to my f-ups.
Sigh...
Check your grout in between your tiles and the calking around the tub base, and also the seal around your drain. Even the smallest crack in grout can cause the water to leak behind the wall and get under the shower basin. From there it follows the drain pipe. If you see a crack in the grout, regrout the area.
