Hello all,
I recently bought a two year old home, thinking I would have less problems with it than my last home that was 59years old.
Well, first time I tried to use the shower in the master bathroom I noticed that the show drain sits above the shower pan by almost an 1/8th of an inch.
I asked my neighbors if their shower was the same and they said yep it's the same.. well I don't believe it's correct.
I have lots of issues with this shower. How can someone build a shower with such a low threshold and not install a shower door on it?
Here are a few photos... sorry they are a bit blurry but I would like to know what I can do about it? I haven't been able to unscrew it but then again I really haven't tried.
Can the pipe be cut from the inside in order to reset the drain flush?
Is there possibly an adjustment? A rubber gasket that can be removed and replaced with plumbers puddy in order to get it to seat correctly to the drain
Apparently the builder just used silicone on the drain... Now that to me is just stupid because it just alows the water to puddle and creates a location for the drain to leak from.
I have one last question.
I would love to put shower door(s) on this shower but I am not sure what size to look for?
The shower curtain just isn't working for me a slight movement to the curtain and it alows water to leak out on to the floor.
the opening is 43 3/4"
