ᐅ Shower drain installed too high, so it was ground down, now there is a hole.

Hello, our shower channel was installed too high. Unfortunately, we don’t have an invoice for the work. We thought it over and decided to grind down the channel. Now we have a big problem. The channel was double-walled, and we have ground it so much that there is now a gap. Of course, we didn’t know that the channel was double-walled.

Please no comments like "serves you right without an invoice," etc. We’re already kicking ourselves enough!

Of course, the worst case would be to remove all the tiles and the channel and start over.

Do you have any other ideas? Is it possible to reseal the channel? It is made of stainless steel. We were thinking about soldering?

Apply adhesive first, then cover it with silicone.

That’s just a quick fix. You can’t solder it, maybe have it welded, but then it’ll be too thick again. The only professionally correct solution is to remove it and replace it completely.

What do you expect when someone starts cutting into a stainless steel shower channel??

If welding at all, but a part like that costs less than €100. I would have installed the thing new.

The gutter is already ordered. That’s probably the smallest expense. But doing everything new will easily cost four figures. That really hurts, especially since money is tight after building a house.
