Wet Room Floor

[osca]

Hi All
Don’t know if this is the right place to post.
I have had a wet room installed but I have a pool of water on the floor after a shower.
The installer said this is the norm. But why should it not drain away.
Where the drain is looks fine but outside of this there is a slight valley of about 4 to 5 mm where the water will not drain away.
Again the installer said all you have to do is mop this up.
He is quite adamant there is nothing wrong with the floor.
If any of my family go into the room after someone has had a shower their feet are wet and this is marking the hall carpet.
Some advice would be very much appreciated.
The floor is of a vinyl material.
Thanks
Osca

its not norm for a wetroom floor to have water pooling.
it should all drain to the waste.

Not quite right, pooling does happen when the deck has been fitted proud.

You may want to get a squigee, or insist the installer puts this right.

Which deck did he use and onto which type of floor.

might do on your wetroom floors.

Op, your installer is talking complete nonsense. The whole purpose of installing a wet room floor tray is that it doesn't pool. A bit like a bath (with the plug out obviously) nor a shower tray pools anywhere.

what kind of wetroon is it? aquadec? a tray which is recessed into the floor then tanked.

what kind of tiles are on the floor? large format or mosaics?
if its mosiacs then its very possible they havent been installed correctly. its easier to follow the slope of the tray with smaller tiles, but if you press them in too far they create small recesses where pooling can occur.

if the floor is tanked with bitumin matting then there may be undulations in the matting where they overlap so your tiler has to be extra accurate to allow for this.
