Hello everyone. I am new here in the forum but have already read a lot here regarding our major renovation.
About our problem. A walk-in shower was installed. I have to say right away it was not by me but by my uncle, who is actually a trained tiler. I was not always present during the construction work. The shower was tiled after all the preparatory work with the proper slope. So far, so good. I have now laid the floor in the rest of the bathroom (vinyl), built and installed the shower wall, etc. Now I wanted to finally seal the shower with sanitary silicone and then I noticed a huge problem to which my uncle just shrugged. At the beginning of the shower, the floor (tile and vinyl covering) is even. Also fine so far, but the slope was made only in one direction and therefore I now have a wedge at the edge that is not covered by anything. At the lowest point it is 2 cm. What can I do here to make the whole thing watertight?
Unfortunately, I don’t have any pictures right now because I am on my honeymoon. However, I found a picture of the tiled state. The slope is marked at the red indicated spot. Everything without tiles has already been covered with vinyl and the shower enclosure is already mounted and standing on the vinyl.
I hope you can help me with this problem.
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
Best regards
EDIT I just noticed that the picture did not work out like that. The internet here is great….not ^^ I hope you understand what I mean anyway.
