A contractor looked, cut out a section, and yes, could see daylight in the corner of the shower. He also found some "outside of code" plumbing from when this shower was installed, probably in 1990 when the guy decorators lived here and all sorts of trendy, but not correct things, were installed. He also found out the previous contractor didn't remove his trash--even found a putty knife!
Notice the cat on the couch is not about to give up her napping spot just because there's a stranger in the room cutting holes in the ceiling! It's that curiosity thingy.

It doesn't seem to matter how old your home is when you bring in a contractor to repair something they always seem to find something not up to code. It's kinda like your dentist when your teeth check out OK but you have an old filling that looks suspicious and he says those ugly words " it needs to be replaced".
You're right, and this place was built in 1976-77 and bathrooms redone around 1990, so there's lots of funny stuff going on. But leaving all the junk and just covering up seems a bit tacky, especially leaving behind a tool.
