In this video I repair some loose and broken tiles around a Schluter drain in a steam shower.
This video shows the stepbystep process for removing and replacing small mosaic tile around a Schluter drain. The drain was either installed incorrectly or had been stepped on and pushed down about 1/4".
To do this job, scrape the grout down and carefully work the tiles off the substrate. Use a bar or putty knife to pry against as to not destroy or put holes and dents into the shower tray. carefully clean the thinset from the substrate and vacuum thoroughly.
