I had my bathroom tiled and fit by a “bathroom fitter, tiler and plumber with 14 years in the industry” in 2018 and he did some pipework elsewhere. He’s registered with a chartered body.
His work has been poor, he’s since come back and ripped it all out (except the shower) and just left it. I don’t believe he’s tanked the shower walls and I have a penetrating damp to deal with, one of the other sides of which is attached.
He’s stated properly installed tiles using quality PVA, waterproof grout and water proof adhesive is sufficient and anything else is a bodge. He is confused by my question about tanking and keeps stating it’s money down the drain.
He previously told me spacers and levelling systems are for bodgers and DIYers, I wasn’t impressed with his tile spacing or lipped edges, he’s blaming bad walls but he tiled onto Hardie backer.....😆
The shower door exploded at random, door maker sent a specialist who stated the tiles were so uneven that he couldn’t install due to stress on the frame.
I’m going down the route of a CCJ against him but he’s claiming I’m just a perfectionist. I’ve queried his knowledge on BS5385-1:2018 clause 6.1.1.3, he hasn’t even heard of it.
Am I right in that he should have used an approved tanking system in a wet area. Is this code of best practice?
Mushrooms are growing under my shower on floor area he made “good”....
