Regardless of cost, that is totally unacceptable, very poor job.

That really is very poor. Must have been a very blunt blade that did those cuts.

Not good at all. Sometimes it's not possible to get all corners to meet perfectly due to different tile sizes however if that was the case its still possible to make a better job than that! Very poor job in general. Sorry to say but I have seen first time DIY jobs done better

Blade??? It looks like he chewed them!

I'm pretty sure I could do better cuts with a pair of nippers!

Hi, Thankyou for replies, just as I thought poor job, the tiler is my friends husband, he is suppose to be a professional and is on trust a trader and has his own website too, there is lots of good reviews (none bad) about his work, which leaves me upset as to why he made a bad job of mine, the tiles on Wall are 300mm x 500mm and they are urban concrete from B@Q the floor are Oscano also b@q but the mosaics are from Marabese and we're cheap, he charging me £***and I've given him £***up front, I didn't have to it was my choice, he's coming back to place chip tiles tomorrow and remix mosaics that are not flat, but that's all so the job will still not be to standard I was expecting, I'm not happy and after he's been I feel like saying that I'm not gonna pay him rest of money, means his wife and myself may fall out over this and we've been friends for many years, but she is also to blame as she did grouting and her excuse for chips around window was if I'd had a lighter coloured grout I wud notice chips so much!!!!! Poor excuse, I'm furious to tell truth. :'(

£***

£***

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

 

[Ian]

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.
