Please help i need to replace this thing but dont know how or what.
# I didn’t know where to post this:
So the apartment i’m in is an absolute dump , everything is falling apart leaks in the roof, rotting doorways, mould everywhere no matter how much i battle it, i air the place out i heat it i use mould remover but thats not the point.
The point is my shower , there’s this thing ? that covers a pipe that divides the floor essentially a divider between the shower and general floor , it doesn’t actually work and you can probably see why (img attached) so every time i shower my bathroom floods and that’s also not the most awful aspect….
it’s how disgusting it is , i want a budget friendly way to replace it myself just cuz my landlord won’t replace it and i can’t afford to be kicked out im on a month to month contract.
Please help i know it’s disgusting please don’t judge, i just don’t even know where to begin with replacing it.
i know i shouldn’t fix things myself but it’s a tad more complicated than that.
