We went from a fiberglass stal to ceramic tile stall I LOVE it but the water won’t drain I’m always pushing the water out after with my foot. Is there a way with out breaking the tile and starting over again?

Sounds like the floor was not properly sloped. Who did the installation?

  The guys that did it the owner got cancer so they aren’t in business anymore. I would have called them ofcourse but I know how bad Cancer is.

  Oh dear. Yes, I wouldn't call them either. But they didn't do the job correctly. You can either squeegee the water forever, or take up the floor, adjust and retile. Here is how to hire a licensed contractor.

  Sorry this happened to you. Normally I would go after the contractor, but I have compassion, so in this instance I wouldn't. Sorry it will end up costing more money.

Hi Jen,
My name is Linda. Is it because the drain is plugged or is it the slope of the drain? If it's the slope of the drain, you'll need the person who installed it to fix it. If the drain is plugged, pour about 1 cup of baking soda into the drain, followed by about 1/2 cup of vinegar. Let that sit for an hour or two, then add some hot water to flush the mixture out of the pipes. Good luck and wishing you the best.
