Well...I just bought a subsale apartment but the bathroom tiling and floor trap were poorly done by the contractor. To ensure a smooth water flow into the floor trap, there should be a gentle slope on the floor towards the floor trap. however, one part of the bathroom floor is slightly lower than the floor trap level. Worst still, this part is slightly sloping up towards the floor trap, causing water puddling/ponding near this area.

Is there any way to raise the level of the bathroom floor tiles (at the affected low part only) without hacking and changing the floor tiles ?

Without hacking or changing.....
Almost impossible. Unless the previous contractor did an extremely poor job, so poor that removing the grout enables lifting of the affected tile.

Tap tap the tile with the knuckle. If it sound empty, you are in luck for the technique above. But bad luck for the future

no way. must involve hacking

Hack it or you dry it after every use.

u can ask contractor to tile on top of the existing tiles.

Try look for epoxy coating

Search 'perfect advanced deco' at facebook

Yes...this is similar to what i intend to do. I m planning to put layer of transparent waterproof silicone on top of the affected tiles to make a gentle slope. So that the surface of affected area is slightly raised, thus enabling water flowing towards the floor trap.
I need to survey what kind of coating/silicone is the most effective way, and at the same time it does not spoil the aesthetic look of the existing tiles .

Hi. My bathroom currently is having no slope towards the floor trap. Any idea whether water puddle will start to form all around my bathroom as well? Any idea how to out slope now with tiles rather than hacking?

You want a cheaper solution? Buy a wiper mop and push the water towards the floor trap everytime after you wet the bathroom

That is what I do ... using a floor water scraper ...rm20.
