I plan on replacing the old tiled shower (no bathtub) in our second bath with a shower surround kit. The drain in the current shower is slightly offset to the right, rather than centered in the middle of the shower floor. I notice that most of the shower "kits" have the hole already cut out in the floor panel and usually off-centered as well. I figure that the odds of the drain hole in the new shower surround aligning with the current drain are prabably a million to one.
My question is this: How is this handled during installation? I see lots of dollar signs if the plumber has to cut up the concrete slab just to move the current drain a few inches in order to align with the hole in the new shower floor panel. Inevitably, is this what I should expect to happen? Just trying to plan ahead so I can plan for extra expenses. Tks for anyone's input.
