Shower tray NOT installed before tiling. Contractor mistake and how to remediate?
As per the title, the contractor previously mentioned that he'd install the tray first and only then put the tiles on top to ensure that water can't seep through and instead would slide from the tile directly onto the tray.
When I realised late today that they've done floor to ceiling tiles and that the shower tray wasn't taken into account I asked and was told that because the tray will be raised on legs it won't be a problem. I can see several - silicone will be the only barrier for the water, the tray will stick out more meaning that my enclosure may not fit on top and will stick out.
What are the options? Is the only option to pull off the bottom tiles, waterproof with paste, put the tray and then put new cut tiles in? I suspect he'll try to cut them while on the wall - this seems a bit dangerous and will most likely impact the waterproofing course.
For information my shower tray is from Victorian Plumbing, it's the raised offset quadrant Aurora and the enclosure is Torreno also from VP.
Really not sure how to deal with this one, I'm being treated like a hysterical woman for pointing out these obvious concerns. HELP
