WTF is this under my shower???

[alnen]

And how do I fix it? Haha.

Do I fill with concrete? It seems pretty unstructurally sound to have placed a 3x3' shower over this- in fact, the reason I'm replacing is because of cracks in this exact area of the floor.

The old was fiberglass the new is acrylic.

Kind of stuck here until the wisdom of odt guides me!

Fill with the skulls of your enemies. Give the next guy something to talk about.

Also, I don't see a reason not to fill it in. I take it you're on a slab?

Damn, that looks like a 5 gallon bucket, My guess is call a plummer

Is it offset? Looks like it was in the wrong place and that was the "fix".

I believe so- there are like 4 elbows.

I bought a bag of type n mortar to level- can I fill with this and level in the same "pour"?

 

[GeauxLSU]

I'd just fill it with sand and pack.

Dont fill it until youve checked that your new shower base is gonna line up perfectly from both walls and to the bottom of the new base. My bet is that it will not. The plumber put that bucket there when he did the slab so that he could offset the drain to match the shower unit being used. This is very common.

That's just the way they roughed it in. Yes, it's a 5gal bucket. Whatever you fill it in with, make sure it won't be too hard to take it back out if you ever needed to. Maybe a couple inches at the bottom of the hole. Then gravel and tamp it down
