    What could be causing this? - damp behind tiles? - wet grout

    This is new discolouration. It looks like it is wet, so unsure if moisture behind the tile. So far, it has not dried out. There are other areas of discolouration that have been there for a couple of weeks and has been raised. These are new. The shower is not yet installed.

    Public Thread!: Poor Tiling Workmanship by DIY and Rogue Traders

    Oh, I agree. I could not care one iota if it was done by Carol Vorderman dressed in leather brandishing a whip and handcuffs (she would never have completed the work after a year :D) or atilla the hun in drag. As long as the job is done correctly, that is all that matters. Only the standard of...

    He knows Andy. I gave him a test area to redo to see how his work panned out and it was still poor. I could not honestly expect to believe he is capable of fixing the whole room if he cannot fix a small area which needed doing. It was all I could do to see how he handles a small area before I...

    He actually told me that the tiles would not bond as good on new plaster, so better without. Strange one, that. Yet he goes ahead and tiles on plaster. (new or old, plaster is the same to me :D)

    It was written in the contract that walls had to be plastered. Did the ceiling but not the walls. I said it was written in the job spec and forms part of the contract, but he said they did not need doing. He tiled over part blown skim, skim which was not blown and old adhesive. Sprayed with...

    Thanks @Boggs - Response from fitter is 'plastering wouldn't of achieved anything in the room apart from extend the job'. It was in the contract and I had said beforehand that the room was to be plastered. Lo and behold, many tiles are all over the place.
