That’s is definatly not a professional finish.
The pvc trim should be 3 way mitre but if he is not confident he should at least use a colour matched corner piece.
It sounds like he’s hoping the grout will cover up most of the bad work.
Plus in picture 3 the tile is not set straight
Cookie - it’s a poor job all round and I can’t see it getting any better tomorrow!
Adey - I’ve seen them before a few times, I’m not really a fan of the 3 way mitre, I avoid those rounded trims at all costs, there very dated and offensive. I prefer the top two mitred and the bottom one cut straight if I must use them.
I’ve only ever done it a handful of times as pvc trim is outdated and metal trims look so much nicer and cleanJust found the originals on my laptop (nearly 10 years old) - must have posted it on here once. Remember practicing it thinking I'll need to do them all the time - never done it once! Apart from the time I had to show my Dad 'cos he insisted it was impossible.
Your Tiler refers to himself as a "Professional"View attachment 95647 View attachment 95648 View attachment 95650 View attachment 95651 Hello everyone. My tiler is fitting bevelled edge metro tiles in my kitchen. I’ve chosen a white gloss pvc quadrant tile trim to match. The outer corner joins don’t look very neat at the moment though and I’m a bit concerned that we should be using corner pieces for a neater finish. I did bring it up this morning but he said the corner join pieces are for DIYers and a professional wouldn’t use them, choosing to mitre and file the rough edges instead. He insists they will look smart when finished but I’m not sure. I’m happy to be wrong! But tomorrow is his last day and I want to make sure everything is definitely going to work out before he does the grouting and it’s too late to make changes. If anyone has a professional opinion that would be great. Thank you! View attachment 95649
