Andy, I don't know how much those panels cost, but unless you have plenty of extra time, I think replacement might be the best option. It'll be a little painful, but over quickly.

Welcome to the forum, Ryan. :)

If the water were able to go directly to a drain, I'd slope it, but in your picture it appears that the water would just sit against the tub.

Andy, if that flange is 1/4" as you say, you won't be able to tile over it. It doesn't seem that thick in your pictures, but that's why I asked. It's sometimes hard to tell from the just a picture....
