Hello, I have some concerns with my bathtub and found this forum while searching for answers. Maybe someone here can help?
Problem is this: I have a recessed fiberglass garden tub that doesn't drain completely. Instead, a few cups of water remain toward the center of the tub. I have noticed that the skirt of the tub bows or bulges out slightly toward the center/bottom. In addition, the drain itself seems to be tilted or slanted with the edge of the drain closest to the rear of the tub 1/8" or more higher than the tub bottom.
The tub is about seven years old though it has been used rarely. I only noticed this after I replaced the Moen positemp cartridge. I don't think that would be a factor, but thought it worth mentioning.
So I guess I'm wondering if A. This is something I should be concerned about and B. Can it likely be repaired?
There is a stand up shower on the other side of the wall from the tub so the plumbing is not going to be easily accessible.
Thanks so much!
Josh
