New bathroom - Acceptable tiling? - TilersForums.com

[georgechi]

Hi all,

I've got someone doing my bathroom and yesterday they finished tiling. I've been going through the result and I'm not impressed with the quality.

Can you have a look and tell me if I'm too picky?

My issues:
- Some of the tiles are chipped (average sized finger for scale)
- In the far areas (far corner and top edge) they're not cut off straight.
- You can see one that's glued with a lot of adhesive and that changed the line on the wall.
- In a corner they don't match the height.

I've seen a lot of comments around how the grout will fix things. Would that apply to me? Would these issues be less visible through grouting? We are looking at a light grout (silver/ light grey).

Thanks,
George

Are you too picky??

No
That's a sack of *****.

I was going to be polite but I struggled!
So many questions to ask but at the end of the day someone with pride in their work wouldn't leave that mess.

It seems the edges are covered by silicone and they won't show anymore. Just had a chat and he'll rectify the chipped ones. Still, I'm curious how the end result will look like....

Not acceptable.

Poor workmanship.

I would too struggle to be polite . That's pretty shocking . Looks like they've chewed that ceiling cut with their teeth . I would get them to rectify at their own cost
