Circa 1959 home shower stall floor(36x40) in which the 4.25 square ceramic tile glazing is cracking/separating away from the tile base.
Its just the glazing material, not the actual tile itself. The edges of the glazing are sharp, defintely a hazard
My options so far are to either have the surface refinished or to lay another layer of tile over the existing surface, a total demo is out of the question.
The drain is located in a corner of the stall, I'm assuming it's 1 1/2" in diameter and that it is threaded into the cast iron trap below.
How would I go about raising the drain to allow for the added tile height? I am certain that there is a copper shower pan installed.
Access to the waste pipe is easily reached from the ceiling below this bathroom, I have no problem with converting part of the cast iron waste pipe to ABS.
In doing this will I compromise any existing seal, if any, between the drain and shower pan?
Again, a total demo is not possible
Hope someone can offer advice on this situation
