redstripe Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 You could have dumped a bucket of drywall mud on floor then sat tub on it and leveled it. Easy peasy. Only a rookie would even think about spray foam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if you haven’t used it much,that stuff always expands more than you think it will.At least with door jams you can cut off the excess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tip # 2 Fill the tub with water when you caulk around the edge that meets tile. Leave water in for 24 hours ,then drain This will prevent caulking from ever cracking. Tip # 3 While waiting for caulk to cure. Re check all plumbing connections for leaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where on your tip list does it say to place cement blocks and other heavy objects in the tub to hopefully compensate for the failure to do it right to begin with?
