Hi,
I just had a bathroom remodel which is beautiful, but my shower floor has two puddles. The size of the shower would not accommodate a standard shower pan, so the contractor built it using concrete. The grading to the drain is not right, and the puddles are about 5-6 inches long and the area is still wet 12-14 hours after a shower. When I asked the contractor about it, he said don't worry about it and to squeegee the floor after every shower. I've been doing that, but curious what others think. Is this acceptable? I'm concerned the grout will degrade faster with standing water on it. Others that take showers in there do not always remember to squeegee. Is it really that much trouble to fix it?
