Concrete subfloor leveling issue
Hi -
I ripped up laminate flooring on a concrete subfloor. It was my first DIY project and instead of using mortar to even out any glue that was stuck on or sand off, I used a thin layer of self leveler. I mixed it correctly but for some reason still wasn’t level so I tried grinding it with an angle grinder attachment. Made it worse. Poured again. Also made it worse.
I ripped out the existing vanity as seen in the image and there’s now 1/4 inch from vanity bottom to new subfloor with concrete.
My question is:
If I try to fix one last time, should I try to sand down to Original subfloor and hopefully attach whatever I’m using to a shop vac for dust?
Do I do another pour to level up to the 1/4 inch and sand the existing pours down a bit then pour again?
Even with a laser level it’s very hard to tell where slight dips or rigids are so it’s almost impossible for me to sand my hand down to flat,
Other option… should I just hire someone for this? And how much do you think it would cost? (Trying to save $)
