Here's a recent job I completed at a rental house here in Sequim. The shower water supply line had broken away from the valve and water had leaked into the wall for a while, which created dry rot and damaged sheetrock.
Here are the pictures showing the broken pipe, damaged wall, new valve installed, new 1/2 inch Hardibacker, new tile, and then, the final result.

Notice the dry rot and sheetrock damaged caused by the broken pipe...

New valve installed below...

Hardibacker installed, and new 4" tile installed directly onto that.


And here's the finished shower... looking and working great!
