hi all,

can i know how much will i need to fix uneven toilet that cause water flowing/draining failed. 9(20cm) x 11(20cm) toilet area. do i able to just apply another layer of tiles on top of existing one ?

Was in chat with a contractor doing waterproof layer on top of existing tiles, he claims that the additional layer is 5mm thickness and can cure water not flowing issue where no hacking required.

Any thought?? If to hack how much?, is not hack - what solution i have.

the contractor do offer me this type of coating too, but does it really works for releveling the flooring?

no need to hack. just put another layer of waterproof on top and lay on top. important to get the gradient so that no 'ponding'....

I've worked with two contractors on this basis. Lees work. Cheaper. Less rubbish to cart away. However thicker.

They will make pock holes in the existing tiles. Put the layer of water proof n cement. Lay on top. Fairly straight forward.

That is waterproof without hacking right ? because the main issue im having is water unable to smoothly escalate to the escalate hole. cry.gif

which results in ponding.  simple but bad problem.  your contractor need to use the spirit level conscientiously to ensure the gradient is right...
