Been to a house today to look at a disabled bathroom to pit in for the local council, this was the work the plasterer and tiler did the year before for this family. Can't really see how bad it is from the pics, it looks better that it is. The plastering was awful,looked like it had been put on with a shovel and the floor looked like they laid it and ran over it with a wheelbarrow filled with the plaster and said shovel

The plastered ceiling has a few tram lines.....

Some of the worst plastering ive seen, and i tried some bad lads who come off 2year coarses at collage, even they can do better

No wonder he went bankrupt, I can't imagine many people were paying him if all his work was like that!
Just been asked by a customer to sort out the silicon between the tiles and shower tray. I was originally asked to tile the shower cubicle but apparently she couldn't afford me. What she really meant was she couldn't afford for me not to do it!!!
The gap varied as you can see between £2 and £3.20. (Which is what the should have been paid) The photo of the edge is where all the grout/addy mix combo :mad2:was just left where it met the other tiles on the stud wall. The photo of the ceiling is where the gap is filled with grout/addy, that measured 14mm between top of tile and ceiling. AAArrggghhh

See what you mean by £3.20....holy moses:yikes:
to paraphrase Harry Redknap "my old lady could do better than that". I've got a re-grout request to do but have told the client they'd be better off re-tiling as its all so poor in the first place and has been so badly over-grouted and grout painted already anything I do will probably look pretty poor no matter what I do. Pause. "My husband did all of that and thought he did a decent job....." oops
i'd say £2.00 is about 6mm and £3.20 about 10mm just a guess would measure them but looking out the window my van looks way too far to walk to get my tape.
The coins were in my pocket and the tape was in the van :lol:

£2.00 is 6.5mm & £3,20 is 11.2mm EXACTLY. :lol::lol::smilewinkgrin:
Just started a bathroom refurb and the customer was telling me he had his en suite done less than a year ago he's not happy with it and wants me to do it again at a later date. I thought i would share a few pics with you all, some of the pics are taken from the bathroom I've just started today you can see the backs of the tiles through the wall :mad2: the floor has already failed looks like the "professional" tiler tiled straight onto cheap chipboard.

just thought that you would all like to see what a customer payed 7k for last year including tiles and suite(all from b & q) room was a bedroom which was ripped out completely and reboarded.....and to make matters worse when doing the tap test i would say that over 70% of the tiles have been dotted onto new walls.
the photos numbers 6 and 8 actually show where the bath is and the tiler has used grout instead of Silicon......actually no Silicon has been used at at all. and before you ask yes she did pay him as at the end of the job the tiler became very rude and quite aggresive stating that there is nothing wrong with the work and she was just being extremely picky so as to find reasons not to pay.

Looks fine to me .......... :mad2: :incazzato:
Yet there are so many people out there who will pay for this and throw away our quotes because we are too expensive........ well, it is only tiling after all. Anybody can throw some muck and tiles onto a wall cant they (I have actually been told that line before!!!!)......
MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL 😛rrr:

Why would you pay for substandard work it baffles me, if I'd finished a job and it looked like any in this thread i wouldn't want paying and i would have a long hard think about how competent i am as a tradesman. I always think if i wouldn't pay for it in my own home why would i expect anybody els to.

I wonder where these people come from, why are good tradesmen struggling while these clowns are getting work?

I'v been to one this week in a big house that's 4 yrs old. 3 out of 4 bathrooms have cracked floors or walls. hallway and kitchen must be 60msq, starting to crack.
The owner said this is the best house out of the 3 that were built on this plot, could have some good work coming up. It does make you wonder though.
