I assisted him in the evaluation of the MBA and all other showers. Conclusion is that the MBA and guest room showers are improperly installed. The perimeter is not level on either shower and the drainage to the center drain is insufficient in both showers. (1/8" per ft is minimum acceptable) I personally tested the guest shower. Water stands in the front right corner marked with an X in pencil, and two other corners do not have sufficient pitch to center. Curiously, all other showers are perfect. Dale suspected that two different installers might have completed the work. Complete tear-out and replacement is expensive... maybe $5K per shower. A less expensive suggestion is to: 1. remove drain screen 2. Grind the current tile surface to provide for proper adhesion. 3. Establish a level perimeter at the correct height. 4. Install a drain extender to permit installation of the drain screen at the proper level. 5. Apply thin-set at correct grade and install new tile directly over the old tile. This requires new tile for the floor but does not remove the old tile. EFTA00361924
