Hello all, newbie to this site so hear goes with the first post -
Had a new bathroom fitted recently and tried out the shower a couple of weeks ago to find that water was accumilating in the corner of the shower, adjacent to two walls. The water would stay for days if not cleared and even sat on the top rim of the shower tray, touching the silicone between the shower tray and the wall.
I got my spirit level out to find that the shower tray was not installed level and the tiling above the shower tray, up to the ceiling was also not level and so when you look up to the ceiling the tiles are sloping.
When I spoke to my builder about this he said that the floor was not level but I am having touble accepting this as an excuse as in my opinion there could have been other steps taken to ensure the shower tray was level in the first place.
What do others think about this and:
1) Should I insist he level the shower tray?
2) Should I also insist he re-tile as the tiles are not level to the ceiling?
Any thoughts welcome...
