tile showers

Stagnant water in my shower tile is this correct?
I had a contractor only my bathroom remodel. It has a tiled shower, when I shower fills about half of the shower (never out of the shower though). When I'm done showering still standing water in the shower for a couple of hours (about 3 / 8 inch). The drainage water is working well lower than the drain. Is this correct? if not what do I get my contractor? Thank you!
I am a general contractor in the renovation of homes and have seen this to happen, even I did it myself the first time I built a tile shower. The main problem comes from not having sufficient slope to drain properly water from the plant. It also seems that you could have a grate drain is higher than the mosaic of the surroundings and maybe even a drain tube that is too small pending or not enough to remove the water. I say this because you mentioned, even when water is running in the shower is half full. If drainage is adequate water should drain quickly once the level rises above the drain grate. There is no easy solution to this time I bent the word incorrectly, he was forced to remove the tile and the subfloor and start over. Standing water anywhere is a bad idea a tile floor can take more water, but eventually there will be no inconvenience not to mention standing in dirty water or cold. See my profile and email me if you want a specific solution.
How to obtain a tile shower pan?
I have scrubbed and washed with Clorox and Ajax, but there is still mold in the tile grout in my shower. Help!
Use a fairly strong solution of chlorine. Scrub with a brush and repeat every few days until the mold is gone. (Wear gloves and watch your eyes.)
