Hello,
First time posting. I'm helping a friend of a friend who recently had a basement shower installed, and unfortunately the contractor who did it was completely incompetent. The floor of the shower is tile, and there is no slope to the drain (in fact if anything, there is a hump drawing water away from the drain). I'm planning to rip the old floor out and build a new pan, but my question is: do I have to remove the first row of tiles from the wall (which of course means I need to find the matching tile to reinstall), or would it be ok to build the pan over the existing tile?
Thanks!
John
