Hello,
in our new build, the shower drain for a walk-in shower was not installed in the center (see photo). We only noticed this after installation. The construction company admits the mistake and has offered to credit us for the costs. They say that fixing it would be too complicated and expensive. Everything would have to be removed again, and the tiles would be damaged. What do you think?

One could consider not placing the fittings etc. centrally but flush with the false edge, so it looks intentional.I think that’s a good idea if there is enough space towards the wall! Of course, it’s frustrating, and the tiler should have noticed and mentioned it by now. But at this point, it’s the problem that dismantling it probably wouldn’t be reasonable and would also carry certain risks.
In the end, it’s also a question of what they offer and whether it will really be noticeable over time. Thanks, if possible, kaho674’s suggestion could help to better conceal this.
You can do it that way, but honestly, it’s just nonsense.
No, seriously... it does look absurd, but I think I would also be too afraid that it would only make things worse.
If something ends up leaking afterward...
Claim as much compensation as possible!
And once again, how can the tiler be so blind (stupid)? It’s hard to understand...

What amount is the construction company offering you? They are offering reimbursement for the cost of the gutter, so around 500 euros.
