Hello,

I have the following problem: we renovated the bathroom and it turned out that the shower tray does not rest completely on the floor with its edge; there is about 1.5 cm distance from the top edge of the floor tiles to the bottom edge of the shower tray. It was clear that the shower tray would not rest entirely on the floor; we just hoped that it would be as low as possible. The installer said beforehand that there would be about 4-5 cm distance. Now everything is lower, which makes us happy, but we are missing a practical solution to bridge this gap. With 4-5 cm, it could probably have been simply tiled, but with 1.5 cm, that is no longer really possible, and for grout and silicone, the gap is probably too wide, I think. But what should we do now?

Does anyone have any good idea for this situation?

Thank you very much!

Idea: stainless steel profile.

Hello Bieber, I have also thought about something like that and have already tried it, but the problem is that the metal profile cannot be pushed under the edge of the shower tray, at least I couldn't manage it. Sticking it on the outside also looks ugly and might be "dangerous" because standing water could then penetrate.

Hello,

such tile profiles are available in heights from at least 3 mm to 30 mm, so there should be a size that fits into your gap. The perforated strip intended to be glued into the tile adhesive would probably have to be cut off?

Hello Knallkörper, what do you mean by "Fliesenprofile" and "Lochstreifen"?

Google Simple Stainless Steel Tile Profile. There are many solutions. It is simply integrated during tiling.
