westcoast Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) Annoyingly after final floors went down (microcement) we noticed shower drain rocking and subsequent cracking of microcement.  turns out linear drain wasn’t seated correctly into mortar by plumber - 5mm gap under ‘wing’ of drain.  Gap fixed now with epoxy.   You can see I removed a lot of screed cement during my investigation:   should I repair this with concrete or sand+cement? in any case I’m thinking of using some steel dowels to connect all the elements.  its about 100mm deep but only 15mm deep over pipe!

Mr Punter Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Christ what a mess! Â I can't see how that could be patched in, but I have zero experience with laying microcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Is this the finished shower surface? How are you going to waterproof the patch? You'll have to use something that won't shrink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoast Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 (edited) Microcement people are coming back to sand down whole tray and re apply microcement so waterproofing is not an issue  im just wondering if I should pour concrete in the hole for strength or match the screed material (sand and cement) Edited January 23 by westcoast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I'd use concrete with small stones, just because it's cheaper and faster. I'm sure you've some insualtion to slot in first then foam in to place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
