You are not alone m3fitter in this sorry story of woe, same thing happened to me, only this one only lasted a day! Talk the talk, but can't walk the walk, and told me I was to 'picky' 6mm lips on stone are not acceptable, never have been, never will be.

Im sorry this happened to you, you take one step forward sometimes and then 2 steps back.

Or in your case of a bad tiler Pebbs it would be one step forward, trip on a lipped tile, scream out loud, then hop on one leg holding the stubbed toe and then take two steps back! [emoji38][emoji6]

As I've said first time its happened, I have always subbed out tilers from forums, from UK tilers, Trusted tradesmen, Ultimate handyman, first time someone has jacked basically for no reason other than they weren't up to it, or they had no respect for me and couldn't tile quickly enough within the standard required.. which is a poor show, as I said to him ' you'll look back and beat yourself up, it was 5-6- days work maximum at a steady pace for £1,500 cash.. whats the problem ?? '

Not good m8, been keeping up with this thread since you posted.
As you say he should have stuck at it & maybe learned something new.
I'm not great at shower trays as I don't get asked to do a lot of them but there's only one way to learn..

I drew it out on the tray, and showed him how to set the whole floor out, and explained why... I explained the whole wet tray thing in large format, enveloping

 

[Chalker]

I must be weird!

doing envelope cuts for wet rooms, is my favourite job.

And there you have it.Despite his obvious lack of knowledge you still allowed him to start your contract.I'am not portioning blame as you were obviously under pressure and hoodwinked into giving him the work, but the signs were there.If you find yourself in a labour shortage situation again, my son and I are local for the foreseeable future and could be available to help.

 

[Andy Allen]

He will even draw the cuts out for you tj...lol

 

[Sean SML Tiling]

And provide accommodation for you and all the family.

 

[Andy Allen]

And you get a new 4 W drive..lol

Forming falls with the tiles needs explaining? Pretty self explanatory is it not,
I'm not so sure you should keep stum about this chap, other folks could put him on to work through here and he may not be the right man for the job,

why? what do you plan to do with his information?

 

[Mr Tiler]

i love this thread, and i have a certain name in mind already as to who it could be, i would not nock the guy who has put you in this situation because at the end of the day we are all human and make mistakes sometimes big sometimes small... forgive and move on i say... and then the culprit can announce himself openly and is hopefully met with mature responses!

 

[On one]

:65:Just like this!

You on the pop again Ash?

[Mr Tiler]

It was a rhetorical question Ash :lol:

 

[Chalker]

Not been able, or not having the experience to do something is never a problem. You can always learn.
but professing to know ... That's different .

you think i haven't already Mark or Marc? im sure its Marc but cant get my head around it ha! anyway yes i have read your quote and many alike! at the end of the day we are all human and dont deserve to inherit a bad name as long as we strive to create a good working business! something to think about folks... im pretty sure this chap who is a regular didnt want his name banished or in anyway treated with less respect! its clear that if he was and prob is a reg chap than he is trying to do a decent job at tiling!!!!!!!!! and that is the main thing! dont judge him he made a mistake now move on and let him speak his version!

 

[Mr Tiler]

wow what a rant lol
