It’s hard to tell from images you’ve posted, they just looked a little grubby. Make sense?
Grouting doesn’t look the best and even picture framing looks present.
But could totally be just images and not a true reflection of the overall finish

They aren’t dirty if that’s what you mean? They feel jagged and sharp if you feel down the edge. Those were the best photos I could manage, but they are pictures of the bits that look the worst as that’s what I wanted views on.

I’m not saying they’re dirty, please don’t misunderstand me.
If you’re happy other than the poor cuts, then that’s kool.

Marble - even a relatively low-grade marble should NEVER have a chrome trim stuck on. It should be polished, bull-nosed or mitred/polished.
That is truly awful work.

Even IF you are happy to have a trim on the edge of stone, it should be done neatly. Whoever did that needs their vision checking.
Sorry - I feel for you, but we see this every single week....

He must have cut them with a blunt Still saw, that’s terrible . As above trim and marble is a no no in any pros book!
I feel sorry for you!

Thanks all, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you sharing your expertise. I did so much research before I settled on someone to do the work (and yes, I made sure they were a pro tiler) so I am very upset I have ended up in this mess.

I have gone back to them to query the work as I can’t leave it how it is, especially now I can be confident it’s not just me being picky!

How are people getting away with jobs like this

Got no images of mitred marble as such.
But got this



No different to real thing tho.

Apart from the fact that's probably half the thickness of marble and not as soft so confirms the fact there's no excuse for the state of the OP's finish.
