Hello,
Looking for some opinions on my re-done shower pan.
I had a custom fiberglass shower pan installed last week and the initial pan had a pinhole and failed the water test. Water seeped under the fiberglass.
So the installer cut out the bottom of the pan, dried out the mortar base and then came back and added new fiberglass to the floor of the pan. This pan passed the water test this weekend.
However, there is now a small section of the pan up around the front of the drain, see pic, where a small amount of water pools (maybe 1/8" deep but not consistent) . There's a 'divot' in the floor of the pan because of the cutout of the first pan was thicker than the layers of fiberglass applied the second time. I asked the installer if this was an issue and they said no. With all the lead up to getting this thing installed and ensuring slope and getting the mortar and drain at the right height, seems like it is an issue. But maybe it's not? Am I needlessly worrying?
Thanks!
