Hello,

I need help and can't find any scenarios that don't refer to full shower pan replacement.

I have 3 year old shower that does not leak but had badly cracked grout and a few floor tiles from a foundation shift. (yes, that bad.. I fixed drywall corners up one whole side of the house! Got to love canadian winters and summers)
In removing the grout I ultimately began pulling up tile. All my tile is out and the shower pan is in great condition... solid and almost completely dry.

I assume I can simply apply thinset and re-tile?

I have a few small depressions where old tile pulled out a clump of shower pan deck mud. What can I use to fill and level off before tiling?

Thanks
JD

Depending on the type of tile and the size you may have to use modified thinset. Don't worry about the depressions, just fill with you thinset. I have started using a 2 part epoxy grout that is not cheap but it is very, very strong and resistant to almost everything. This should help you http://www.floorstransformed.com/choosethinset.html

Thanks for the quick response and advice.

I have purchase MAPEI Ultra Light modified mortar... it was the only one that did not recommend against application in wet (spa,shower) areas on the package.

4x4 tiles... I am going to use a 1/4 v-notch trowel... tis OK?

Thanks again!:o

I have not used this specific product so read the can, it will tell you what size trowel to use. 1/4" is fine for floor tiling a room but sounds a bit large for 4x4 tiles. With a 4x4 tile you can go sanded or unsanded for the grout. I'd go unsanded for the sake of easier cleaning but keep your grout line down to 1/8".
