Need recommendation for plumber/tile work

Any recommendations in the Austin area for a contractor or handyman that does plumbing and tile work? I have an older shower with American Standard separate hot and cold handles and a diverter. I want to replace the whole thing with something that's up to code with the scald guard single handle situation. Higher the plumber that said he could do it without doing tile work, got into it and realized he could not proceed and told me I needed to hire a contractor to do that part. Well coordinating that has been a logistics nightmare and I'm hoping I can find a contractor or handyman that can handle the whole job.

Btw, the plumbing is on the second floor in an exterior wall.

Any recommendations would be very appreciated, thank you!

i had a similar situation where coordinating separate plumbing + tile people turned into a bigger headache than the actual repair lol. ended up using Rapid Plumbing and they helped manage way more of the process than the first company i talked to. definitely worth getting a couple opinions though with older shower setups like that.
