Easier to try and regrout some tile or just bust it all out and start over with new tile?
I got to taking a closer look at the shower we haven't used since moving in like a year ago and there is a lot of damaged and flat out missing in the shower floor. This seems like a great way to have leaks.

a professional.
If you are missing tiles I think I'd replace it all, to big of a chance doing all the work and still having water get up under one that didn't seat all the way and your dealing with a leak anyway.

and put multiple heads in this shower stall.
All of this sounds pretty expensive though.

whenever there’s a home maintenance issue.
Seriously all new tile- could do bathroom shower yourself if mechanically inclined. But would also consider a pro if shower and floor are in need and maybe masonry, plumbing, structural or other work. Some good home handyman type can do it all.

Yes it can be done, and I've done it, but if you can hire a professional. Especially if you are adding shower heads

I think it's a lot harder than you think

I don't do tile or any masonry. Mainly because if you are just a little off when you start, you will be way off at the end.
Even with a string and level just being an inch off will be noticeable.

get a pro to handle it
tile in a shower is probably a lot trickier and a higher potential for leaks if not done correctly
I just did a floor on a half bath
