Water collecting in niche.
This was my first attempt at a niche and it shows. I used border tiles because they had a finished, outer edge but wern't wide enough to cover the width of the niche, so I had to fill in with a narrow piece. It would have worked but I didn't pay enough attention as I was placing smaller strip into place and it ended up sinking slightly, without any outward tilt. Now there is always a small amount of water that collects in the back of the niche after every shower. I did a good job of water proofing before tileing but I'm wondering if I should do someting about this? Unfortunately I disposed of all of the left over tile. I might be able to find more but I could also use a piece of white marble or something similar to make a bottom shelf with a lip. More like a window sill? I suppose I could just leave it the way it is?

Any thought or suggestions would be apreciated.


I think I'll take your advice and just keep an eye one it. I might try and put a little more grout in the groove because it is a little deeper than I would like. Knowing me though I'll probably end up knocking out the bottom piece and cutting a "window sill" piece of light colored marble for it eventually. How hard is it to remove a single piece of tile without tearing everyting else up?
