Bathroom Fitting

Faulty wet room floor - how can i put this right?

Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 2.42 PM

According to my handyman, the shower floor in the ensuite will need to be taken up + re-laid to the correct fall as the floor falls away from the drain in places. basically the bathroom area is flooded every time the tenants take a shower. i received an unsolicited quote but i don't know the guy + will probably advertise on here. i guess this must happen often; that a fitter has mis-judged the angle/slope for drainage? what is the usual recourse? Could i sort it by installing a glass door next to (or instead of) the showerscreen? Any other ideas? I can't get the original builder back in i'm afraid. thank you for your time + assistance. M

It sounds like the floor needs to be ripped up and the tray needs to be jacked up, or if there is a formed floor it will need to be reformed with a leveling compound and a new floor put down. jim

jpburns is right. There is no way to rectify a bad job like this. Start again.
