This was done for video purposes, and this represents screed. In general this product would be fitted as a new pour floor so the cutting would be insulation board and not simulated concrete as per video. Your contractor is correct, a structural slab should be left alone and it's only the screed topping you should penetrate
Whoever did mine before I moved in did a piss poor job and a half. Laid down wooden flooring, got so soaked, was like walking on wet pillows, till it collapsed! A council contractor just started yesterday on mine removing the soaking wet wood pulp down to the concrete base. He's waiting on some screed & materials to arrive, hopefully tomorrow! When I plastered outside walls, I used plasterciser, thick latex liquid mixed in with the cement. Is plasterciser not used in wet rooms to help waterproof? Contractor told me screed would be dry in 2 hours. 2 hours?! really?! The surveyor said once concreted and dried, latex would be poured over to waterproof, though from the last time my kitchen floor was done, it took overnight to dry. Then, new blue vinyl will go on top of that, sealed around the edges. Drain is already in place with a 12 vdc pump. I was expecting a new drainage pump system. Think I would have preferred ceramic tiles to vinyl. Waited nearly a year now to get it completed! That's the caancill for ya!
@@shaunshunt Lol.. am still waiting to find out myself. He never came back..!!! I put in an official complaint, making a claim for damages. Outrageous!! to leave my bathroom in such a state. He hadn't a clue what he was doing. I'd do it myself if they delivered the materials. I'm sick of wating. Ring them up, email them, nobody picks up a phone or answers their emails. WTF..?!!!
@@ozzy85Mpower I don't think it is a good thing. You can achieve the same results with a few tapered bits of wood. I haven't used the product, so it would be unfair of me to comment its efficacy. But i have screeded a shower tray using a method similar to this: th-cam.com/video/QhLOhTlJ_Ro/w-d-xo.html with perfectly acceptable results. Each to their own!
Not sure if cutting through the concrete slab is a good idea my contractor said it could compromise the structural integrity of the foundation.

Oh! That’s not good 🙁

This looks insanely over engineered
Is that not a good thing
