Bathtub Leveling - Quick Question

ronaka
13 years ago

I'm installing a replacement alcove tub which has flat surfaces at the top. It has been suggested to me that I should install it with a small slope toward the wall so water does not run off the flat top and on the floor. My installation instructions just say put it in level using stringers. So, what do you say. Level? Or, slight slope to back? If sloped, then how much?

My concern is that I will be putting marble tile on the walls, and this kind of gets me off to a bad start in getting the tile level, if I go with the sloped approach.
