So the tiler has just left and we have this in our wet room.
What do you think? I don't think it's how it should be - would any of you be happy with this?
It was just laid today so I don't even know what is involved in taking it up.
Opinions very welcome thank you!

Not seen one like that before, usually all four corners of the drain have a fall.
 
It's not unacceptable per se but it's unusual. I guess?

He's done the fall to the grout joint as a whole I assume? So then it runs into the drain from there?

If you're not happy, ask him to run it to the 4 corners before it's too late to rectify it.

What adhesive has been used and what's under the tiles?

I don't know what adhesive is under the tiles but really I would prefer it to all 4 corners. Am just slightly worried about saying start again!
 
The bits of wood in this one show where I assumed the lines to the drain should be.
It just looks wrong and now I've seen it I can't unsee it! Since I seem to be spending almost 10k on a 2.5m square bathroom I am not sure I can live with it....

They shouldn't be there per se. I guess it's personal preference.

You usually find they fall to the corners. That's what nearly everybody would do. I can't see why the set out has been chosen that he's gone with. It's the same amount of cuts pretty much etc.

I'm wondering what the fall is in the former under the tiles or whatever? Perhaps that's stipulated the location of the fall in the tiles?

I might me talking out my arse though. The other lads are the professionals here I'm just the tea boy.

It's a wet room shower tray under - the drain is off centre and the point he's come to is in the middle of the shower but it just looks wrong.

Does anyone know how difficult it is now to replace in 24 hours?!
 
Perhaps something that should have been discussed before but it doesn't matter now.

If you're not happy worth it, get him that the tiles up. It shouldn't be too complicated to get a few up and not damaged the tray. Might take a while though.

And I guess go halves on the extra time cost? I don't think he's done wrong personally but maybe I'm wrong like I say.

I guess he's coming in the morning? Get him to get them up first thing.
