hi
ive just found this site trawling internet for advice re a tiling job im having done at the moment. ive noticed a few mistakes I wasn't happy with, but my ex came round today whos in building trade and works with tilers to tell me there are quite a lot of problems and the job is very poor. the job was to tile my bathroom walls and floor, its about 3/4 way done so far. ive tried to communicate with this tiler, but im getting blamed for all the errors and getting no where, shes not been and looked at her mistakes but ive explained them all by email and sent loads of photos.
list of problems I can see so far
1 lots of tiles are not level all over the walls, shes blaming the wall being badly out, shes a plasterer too so should have told me before she started and didn't
2 some of the borders have sunk in more than others and 1 is protruding out
3 2 tiles on the wall have chips at edges, shes told me that I have done this after shes laid, total rubbish as they are grouted in
4 1 tile under sill isn't full height so when edging goes on it will show
5 the window wall shes not followed the brick pattern on other walls so therefore the line doesn't match where shes done the brick affect by about 2 ins out, she started off doing 1 brick then another centre on top, but on this wall shes done 3/4 not central on 2 rows then gone central again.
6 shes got little cuts at edges of the wall and on the top, been told she should have started in the centre and worked out to avoid silly cuts
7 2 floor tiles have cracked on the edge walkin on them, both haven't been left at edge with no adhesive so therefore nothing under them to support them, shes replied sayin ive caused excessive misuse of her tiling, cheeky woman
8 shes not removed some adhesive and grouted over with adhesive showing in some areas
9 if you use a laser level the border is 2 ins out from one wall round the the last
10 shes blaming the quality of tiles and materials for a lot of the prbs, the tiles were 32.75 a sq m and I bought bal grout and adhesive so got gd quality items
I just don't know what to do now, some tiles have got to be removed and I don't have any spare ones, im worried if she takes up these 2 floor tiles shes going to damage my underfloor heating too. shes asked me to pay her £200 upfront before shes prepared to come back, ive been told not to pay anything til job is completed and underfloor heating checked, this is really upsetting and stressing me out, shes being very difficult to deal and is accepting no responsibility at all. not sure how to add any pics on here I have taken plenty any advice would be appreciated thanks
