Tile shower floors = future leaks?

Danny Vu
8 years ago

We had our heart set on having a pebble tiled shower floor.

I had a contractor come to bid on the job and he recommended against doing this in the upstairs bathroom. He said he gets a lot of calls to fix leaks from these types of shower floors. He recommended a standard pan or a custom onyx pan.

he described that because it's an upstairs bathroom the floor shifts and squeaks and over time the drain ring comes loose and just a little bit would be enough to leak. He said if we insist on tile floors, he will not take the job... Since he's a friend of the family he probably doesn't want to come back 5/10 years later repairing the leaks or having a bad rep?

perhaps those calls he got are from sloppy jobs?
