Help Me Repair My Shower Threshold
I have a walk-in shower with a threshold covered in penny-round tiles (see photo). Given the large grout-to-tile ratio, it is no surprise that the tiles on the inner wall of the threshold are damp and crumbling off. (It’s not evident in the photo, but the tiles are indeed falling off.) What do you recommend…

What do you recommend I do to repair or rebuild this threshold? I’m not married to these tiles. I was thinking either a piece of custom-molded Corian or a solid block of marble, given my past troubles with tiled thresholds…
If you have the depth, I would recommend installing a marble saddle, with an overhang with at least 1/2″ (space permitting).

I had the same problem and had a marble saddle put on top
sorry but I think to get the best results you should start over. Take out the old tile and set the shower pan up for new tile. If you are not handy I would get someone experienced to save yourself from more headaches. Good luck!
