Bathroom floor fiasco

Toni Allardyce-Harris

Stamped concrete floor installed but the contractor put the drain for a free standing tub in wrong location and filled in old hole with patch concrete. I am wondering if I can cover the patch with pebble tiles and create a piece of art work on the floor. Dilemma is two levels on the floor...the original stamped concrete and the tiles on top. How can I make this seamless without too much expense?

Can't you get the contractor to fix it? If he installed the drain in the wrong location, he needs to break out the concrete and repipe it and fix the floor. You shouldn't have to live with a patch even if it is artistic.

Can you post a picture of the patch and the new drain and the correct location for the drain? We might be able to come up with something.
