Hi,
We got our newbuild hallway and kitchen tiled last year, overall we are happy with the job as it was done by a professional tiler who is a friend of my boss at a discount. For the most part it looks great, it is just the edges where skirting/door frame meets grout.
My only gripe is this; we have some slightly uneven bits of grout on the edges and some has even gone on the skirting or door frames slightly.
Could we make this hallway any neater? As its a newbuild, the walls probably aren't straight which in essence has lead to some areas of the tiling being like this, with uneven grout on the edges but as its grey grout and white skirting it looks unsightly in some places.
I suppose we could scrap the excess grout off the skirting repaint? or silicone over the grout around the edges? What would you recommend?
I would also love to know your thoughts on the job from the images as we are now doing our bathroom and want to know if its worth using the same tiler again (this is our first house, we have no idea what sort of thing to expect other then it looking neat).
many many thanks
