Advice On Whether This Tiling Is Acceptable? - TilersForums.com

Hi, how much did the job cost?

£***

£***

It's not the worst job I've ever seen and that is cheap IMHO. Is it worth falling out with friend?

Using grout to cover unsightly cuts is not an acceptable excuse. The cuts should be neat whether you have white tiles with white grout, or white tiles with black grout. I wouldn't accept that many errors, no chance. No one who takes pride in their work would ever leave a job in that state.

I've seen far worse - although it's not a professional standard.
£415 is beyond cheap for a bathroom tiled IMO.

Would you pay £*** to keep friends? If so - let it go!
Learn from experience and move on.

Never - ever employ friends and family unless you value them more than the money they might cost you.

My mate's rate is easy - it's completely free - When I can fit you in - which is probably never!

Yes I know it's mates rates, but I had to do all preparation work removed old tiles and even got wall re bonded so smooth even surface for him, I still expected better job from a professional for my money thanks

Just out of interest, who recommended him? Had you seen some of his other work before you employed him?

Withhold the rest of the payment, tell him / show him the points you want fixing and are not happy with, and let him remedy it.

Yeah, there's no way this is going to end well. Never mix business with pleasure.
