Quadrant stone resin riser - TilersForums.com

Hi

im Attempting to raise my quadrant shower base. Probably going to use wood, though may use feet or both.
I’ve never done this before but am confident.
I just want some advice on fixing the base to the floor.
The reason being is because it’s downstairs and a porcelain tile floor.
I’m concerned with my inexperience, even with the correct drill bits and tools, I may crack a tile, screwing wood or even legs to the floor.
Are there any adhesives you recommend that would suffice the job? Or should I just go ahead and try and not break any tiles

thanks for your help

Can i ask why you are raising it.

Hi
It’s so that the waste pipe can drain correctly.
There is already waste pipes and a washing machine plumbed into the wall

cheers

If it needs to be raised, then consider making a platform

You would be fixing through the tile into the substrate. Use an appropriate porcelain hole cutter and then a masonry bit.
