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?

The gutter is already ordered. That’s probably the smallest one. But redoing everything will easily cost four figures. That really hurts. Money is tight after building a house. Just redo it and mark it as a story you can laugh about later. That’s the fastest way. Money goes away and comes back. Frustration and bad moods cost valuable time. Time doesn’t come back. That’s why I wouldn’t waste years dealing with a temporary fix.

The "proper" way is probably to remove the old part and install a new one. Any potential water damage caused by a faulty shower channel would likely be more expensive.
