Questions & Answers

Greetings from Chicago

We just completed a bathroom remodelling project and the contractor did not do a good job on the tiling. Is there someone in Chicago area that can help. The shower is 60" x 30" and the depth is 2".

Issue #1: After showering, the water is not fully draining, there will be standing water in about 12"x 4" area with maximum water height of 1/24" (it is not in the full stretch of 12"x4" but in some areas within those 12x4" dimension - also the water is not exactly 1/24" uniform on all area, some areas it is just wet and other has may be upto 1/24")

We did not like how the big 15x30" tile turned out and also the cut out for the tile drain is not uniform (as you can see from the picture)

The depth of the shower is 2" from the floor to the top of the ledge.

Question (A): Is there a way we can overlay a mosaic without ripping the the existing floor tile and adjust the pitch. If we loose 1/2" on shower depth, will 1.5" inch shower depth be ok?

Question (B): If we have to take the floor tiles out, can we do it safely without risk of creating leak? the under the floor we have used

VEVOR Shower Curb Kit, (38"x60" Watertight Shower Curb Overlay with 4" PVC Central Bonding Flange, 4" Stainless Steel Grate, 2 Cuttable Shower Curb and Trowel, Shower Pan Slope Sticks Fit)

Issue#2: We used VEVOR Shower Niche Ready for Tile 16" x 24" (Double Shelf) and tiled over it. But the pitch is towards the back and water puddles. Also the finish of tiling over it is not good. (see picture)

Question (C): is there a way to fix or replace the niche without a major tear down?

Thanks, Appreciate your help/response
