Did I get a bad tiler? Please help

[CJ CERAMICS]

just had a look at the other photo's........omg........:yikes::yikes::yikes: take a look at the 3rd piccy
the grout lines are all over the place and that tile at the sink edge has been cut straight and short and then filled with Silicon. We all know that he has the right to atleast attempt to rectify the problem before you can legally chase him for the money BUT personally i would rather lose the £100.00 and employ a proper tiler, Just get them tiles off the wall asap
to salvage as many as you can mate.

The adhesive he used was tile shed own make stuff in Orange tub. He done the work on Saturday morning so it will be all dry now or is it still worth trying to get them off?

I think they will pop straight off and just clean down and re-tile with them.. worth a go anyway... your job tomorrow morning craig..:lol:..

As dave says craig they should still pop off the wall easy enough

Just get a screw driver at the back of the tile and slowly take it off?

Try and use a wide flat blade tool. A paint scraper may be best.

Well I had a good look at the photos, and then the feedback and comments, and I have to say something to you Craig, learn from it! You cant use the excuse that you didnt notice it at the time, because you should have checked before you handed the money over. It doesnt matter if its £100.00 or £10,000.00. Its deplorable setting out, and sticks out like a sore thumb. What are the chances of getting your money back, I would say a big fat zero , so all you can do is move forward and learn from this, to check the tiling before you hand over any money. The price for 4m2 is cheap...and you pay peanuts you get monkeys.

Well I managed to put all the tiles off the wall this morning with out damaging any of them!

So much for the tiler saying it's impossible to save the tiles!

I'm gonna see if he will give me a bit money back and then get somebody to re-tile that wall for me! A bit of plaster has came off bit not too bad

Some of the adhesive is still damp too.

I would ask for 100% back...you wont get it but its a starting point.
If its only a bit of plaster then a tiler would use his cement based adhesive to skim it up.

Out of curiousity was this guy a Tiler only or did he state he had other skills ?

Some of the adhesive is still damp too.

And this was tiled Saturday ? then it was ready mixed adhesive.
