[WetSaw]

Interesting technique...

Apparently it was "the worst floor they've ever seen"... Umm, why not sort the floor first?

It has that authentic floorboard look about it.

Hi everyone ! I just paid nearly £1800 for a bathroom retiled floor to ceiling and I've been ripped off ! Just issued a court application cause the person..has refused to return. Although actually that's a good thing cause she's bodged our home up ! Any views ? I'd especially be greatful from any professional tilers for their opinions ? Thank you Oh we paid for tiling to the ceiling and got left with 15mm gaps which have some brown Silicon in them...

 

[WetSaw]

Doesn't look the best. Poor setting out has resulted in that gap to the ceiling.

 

[Mackas20]

Yes that's what we have been told. These photos are only a few of many !

 

[GoneGuy]

Bad setting out, terrible cuts on the trim, no Silicon on internal corner by the shower?

 

[Blunt Tool]

Is she a professional tiler? Was she recommended or was she the cheapest?

 

[Bond]

Not the best, **** poor to be honest.

 

[Rookery]

Looks very poor but without knowing the scope of the works, we don't know how much of the budget was left for tiling.

Sure , time and money constraints,can be a *****.

 

[Qwerty]

And what were the tiles? Some tiles are so sizey which doesn't help. On the whole it looks far from acceptable

 

[demi34]

Very poor and not to good standard. rubbish rubbish kaka

 

[Mackas20]

She has her own business and quoted on her own website she states she is an expert tiler ! Unfortunately reccomended to us via her partner.. not helpful. I've paid nearly £1800 , retained £500 but aiming to get the price of getting a retiled done from court. It looks awful in some places.

 

[demi34]

Can u tell me the website please

 

[Qwerty]

No public naming & shaming in the thread please folks....

 

[Mackas20]

I'm not here to name and shame it's purely for your professional opinion that's it.

Wetroom completed by a 'really good' tiler for a bathroom outfit aiming at high end in my area, failed twice. Hopefully he isn't on here 😀

So what's the plan ? Did you pay or are you also going to small claims court ?

 

[Flintstone]

This thread is for pictures of poor quality work.
If you require further advice and opinions it may be better to start a singular thread repeating your pictures.
Then there won't be confusion over the replies to your issues.

 

[Mackas20]

Thoughts from professionals please ? P.s I've submitted a small claims application to court so appreciate your thoughts . Thank you

 

[Time's Ran Out]

Wall and floor in same tile?
Plumber or tiler?

 

[Mackas20]

The tiles are floor and wall ones so suitable for both. The installer says she's a plumber and expert tiler on the website

 

[Italy]

expert tiler.
It is a category that was missing at the forum
@Dan must provide
this shortcoming. 😉

 

[Mackas20]

What level of skill do you place on this work ?
