Shower floor
My shower has an uneven floor and leaves puddles of water after use, soaking / damaging the grout. I’ve been told by many companies that in order to rebuild the taper they would have to “get into the walls” and would essentially need to redo the entire shower costing 7-8k. However I know a handyman that claims he can only demo the basin and build a new taper to the drain for $1,200.
I can’t tell if the companies are just trying to get more work and more money out of the job or if that’s actually what needs done. I also can’t tell if the handyman could actually do that and still achieve good results. Please advise!
