    Opinions on this appalling "professional" tiling job?

    Sure, and it would vary from region to region I would imagine. It wasn't quite up to that mark but not that far off. But either way, just pointing out it wasn't a "mates rates" favour job.

    Opinions on this appalling "professional" tiling job?

    @Mark green It really was not cheap, so that is absolutely not the case! He wasn't just some random office worker mate who piped up offering tiling, we know him as a professional. We also only supplied the tiles and the suite because we had been looking for exactly what we wanted for weeks...

    Opinions on this appalling "professional" tiling job?

    @jcrtiling Because it's been discovered he has not used any tanking behind the shower, no decoupling membrane under the floor tiles, used the completely incorrect adhesive for the size and material of the tiles, so on and so forth. I want to have it clear and in writing everything he has used...

    Opinions on this appalling "professional" tiling job?

    @Ajax123 I've asked for the itemised materials breakdown as a first port of call. It absolutely not unreasonable for me to ask for that first before inviting him and his mrs back to the house to go through everything. I haven't said "I'll sue you if you don't just write your invoice off". It's...

    Opinions on this appalling "professional" tiling job?

    @Plan Tec Tiling I've also heard over xmas he's been down the pub and as the word has got around very quickly, he apparently admitted he knows he's done a terrible job and doesn't think we should be expected to pay for it. Obviously I can't use that in any legal way but shows there could be...

    Opinions on this appalling "professional" tiling job?

    @Plan Tec Tiling I moved all contact with him over to email before xmas for the legal reasons, and requested a full itemised breakdown of the materials he had charged to me. I've not had a reply to that yet. His mrs is replying for him over email and handling it now, but she emailed before...

    Opinions on this appalling "professional" tiling job?

    Yeah absolutely agree. We’ve factored the cost of a (different) plumber to come in an check everything once it’s all been ripped back out, and added to all the costs we’re going to present to him.

    Opinions on this appalling "professional" tiling job?

    @LEE MAC I apologised twice, after I misunderstood his, what I thought was a, p#ss take comment. It’s been explained. As others have said, written words can be read very differently from how they were meant to be read. Surely you’ve had text messages misunderstood before? As I’ve already...

    Opinions on this appalling "professional" tiling job?

    More updates... Just found out he's used BAL Green Star and Blue Star adhesive with porcelain tiles that are 600x300mm sized. I've now read that this is a totally unsuitable adhesive for these tiles (apart from the tubs say "For ceramic/mosiacs/some natural stone" being a giveway). Surely this...

    Yeah, definitely did NOT put anything like that up. Jesus! This really is a calamity.

    Opinions on this appalling "professional" tiling job?

    Hmm, ok thanks. Just building a list of everything he’s done wrong at the moment. Have a couple of new tilers in for quotes and they’ve both said the same as everyone here. Start again. What would have been involved in tanking it because I don’t remember seeing anything other than the...

    Opinions on this appalling "professional" tiling job?

    Something I’ve just realised is he tiles straight on to ordinary plasterboard in the shower enclosure. That’s not right is it, from what ive now researched? Also I’m now reading that a decoupling membrane should have been used on the floor before tiling. Is that correct, too? This is an...

    The thread headline of “Opinions on this appalling professional tiling job” you mean? I’m lost, that’s clearly what I’m asking for. Anyway, I’m not getting at you, I’m just happy to read people’s thoughts on the work.

    Opinions on this appalling "professional" tiling job?

    Only a couple of verbal quotes from others so we knew it was a going rate. His quote was a list of work to be completed and a price, yes.

    No, he provided a written quote.

    Opinions on this appalling "professional" tiling job?

    To all, sorry! It’s a pretty stressful situation. But as I’ve stated, 80% of the worst offending work was all completed at the very end. He must have been leaving the most difficult parts, and we honestly thought that we could probably live with how it was looking by the end of the 2nd week, as...

    Opinions on this appalling "professional" tiling job?

    Nothing in writing from who? Problems for us in what way? I didn’t sign any contract with him and only have his quote which does not have any terms and conditions on.

    Opinions on this appalling "professional" tiling job?

    Maybe but the bloke clearly hasn’t read 90% of what I’ve written. It’s not particularly fun for me dealing with this situation.

    Stone News: Neolith Releases New Collection Combining Technology and Design

    Neolith Releases New Collection Combining Technology and Design
    Neolith presents Neolith Iconic Design, a new collection that transforms the language of surfaces by merging technology, design and art into a unique expression of sophistication and realism. The collection is the result of more than five years of research and development. It incorporates a groundbreaking 3D printing technology and full body veining design where the surface comes to life from the inside and flows continuously outwards, allowing for an entire volume with perfectly integrated aesthetics. With this innovation, Neolith redefines the concept of naturalness, achieving an unprecedented level of realism by creating a surface particle by particle, as if it were crafted by nature itself.​
