    Pitch on shower pant
    How do you solve a pooling spot in your pan. Do you pitch your ceramic tile by more thin set higher to pitch more.

    The concrete pour should be sloped to begin with. If you poured the pan flat than you can possibly build it up with thinset - like applying several layers ( thick against the wall and thinner towards the drain ) and letting them dry between applications. Final layer ( the one that takes the tile ) should follow the slope.
