Browse Forums Bathrooms and Laundry 1 Aug 27, 2012 12:39 am Hi, I'm a newbie to this forum and just like some advice on this. My shower has a few puddles and I suspect over the years, the floor may have buckled a bit and fall isn't enough to allow the water to drain, so its not sloping down anymore, if anything maybe slopping up slightly. The puddles are not big, but deep enough to hold the water, so doesn't dry up and its just annoying The other problem is that, it uses the same tiles for the whole bathroom and also to its skirting. Does anyone have any advice or recommendation to fix this? Thanks, Jason. Re: help with puddle in shower 2Aug 27, 2012 5:51 am How old is your home, is it under builder's warranty?
