Timber Floor Not Level

[J Sid]

Personally I 'would' level the floor unless the client said not to.

As has been seen, not doing that, causes to may other problems.

I have Tiled a small bathroom Floor, it is running out of level by about 2 inches. I decided to follow the floor, but the bath panel is now showing that its not level. Should I have made it level and then leave the customer with a 2 inch step up/ dot and dab the tiles as the floors so out or tell the customer it couldn't be helped as their floor was so out!
Any advice would be Great!!

2" is a lot to raise and would leave too big a step at the threshold ( ugly)
Deffo tiling it flat was the way I would have gone ..,but informed her of the issue.
From your picture of bath panel... Doesn't look too bad.. As someone has said lower it from lip and apply white Dow Corning around perimeter...
Your client could be chancing her arm..
Hope you get it sorted..

Doesn't the plumber have a responsibility to make sure bath panel fits correctly then!
Cos if one end is off the floor, it's not correctly fitted is it.
Or is it another case of 'don't worry, tiler will get over it!'

The floor is not 2 inches out of level where the bath sits. Do we know if this isn't a complete refit or just a tiling job by the OP?

To me it looks like a bath panel, which is not designed to be trimmed.
If this plumber / bathroom fitter is anything like the ones I work with he has put bath in so as not to trim panel and expected the floor to be levelled. Looking at the pic, this looks like mm rather than inches, and should have been easily doable.

You can trim those panels with an angle grinder and slitting disc.

If its a cheap flimsy panel I use solvent free gripfill and glue supports in to beef it up.

If your lucky and its reinforced it will keep its shape just fine. Trim 1/4 inch off to scribe in and it will be lose in the lip of the bath.

Hopefully..
