My wife and I are in the process of renovating our master bathroom. We decided to ditch the tub/shower combo and convert it to just a stand-up shower with a linear, tile-able drain. The contractors had to lay concrete in the shower alcove into which the linear drain was embedded. The shower floor and linear drain cover are tiled with a basket weave pattern. I included photos.
The shower is near completion and I noticed a screwup - kinda major to me and one that doesn't have a realistic solution. The linear drain on one end is further from the wet wall than the other - it's about a 1/4" difference. Because my wife and I are living in our home during this renovation, and because we have a small-ish place, the workers would place a tarp over the shower floor and on top of that, place a bunch of their equipment onto the tarp at the end of the day. This is the reason I didn't notice the crooked drain right away.
Because the drain is crooked by about a 1/4", the guy who tiled installed the tile to line up with the drain, so the tile is off. At first I thought the walls weren't squared, but I then realized it's all because of the drain. The photos will hopefully make this clearer.
My wife is the passive type. However, I'm upset. What recourse do I have? What would you do? Thanks in advance.
