Tub Not Level

AWD_GS · Apr 7, 2016

I took a couple of pictures to help. First picture is the overall back of the tub. Second picture is of the back right corner. Third picture is of the back left corner (closest to inside corner of wall). There is a height difference between the top of tub and top of tile.

So as the tile is sitting just above the flange on the tub, we can clearly see a 1/4" gap between the tile and the tub in the corner.:rofl::rofl:
If it did move there would be a visible gap on both walls near the corner and you would have to have had a gap between the tub and the mortar bed and if it did move down it would then just sit on the mortar bed.

I will be just be a non believer.:beer:

STOP please, this is driving me nuts.

the tub was not installed level. it did not settle, it did not move after the fact.

It appears to me to be akmost 1/2" out. If the tub dropped that far there is no question that there would be a gap between the bottom of the tile and the top of the tub. It MUST have been installed that way.

Your talking level.Why are you measuring the tile and not putting a level on the tub?

Bath tubs are tricky. tough to get level sometimes.
especially the heavy ones. That one looks heavy.
