Good or bad?

Is this good tiling or not? I initially thought it was but every day I go in there the more squint tiles I see! Would be interested to hear what you think?

That’s what I suspected.....and this is who the bathroom shop put in to re-do the tiles after the first fitter did a terrible job.
To be fair if that's a make do and mend , it's probably not fair to criticise the tiler because he may not of been authorised to do a full rip out . So i would be pointing at the bathroom shop if it is a full rip out and redo , not to good but we have seen much worse , but I do feel you spotlights should be further from the walls and more towards the middle of the room as its always going to look dodgy with the shadows on bevel edge tiles

It was a full rip out.
 
That’s looks really bad, I think the first attempt might well have been better.
 
I am pretty sure the lights were the last thing to go in.

I don’t think so. They used their own spotlight thing when they were tiling.
There's the problem then 😢
B. S. says they should be in and working before tiling is started to avoid this sort of thing. A spot light is no good.
I come up against this far to often, bloody sparks can't be bothered to do them.
Tiler should of not done it.

Either those metro tiles have a really pronounced bevel or the down lights are really close to the wall. Have seen the same with under wall unit lights in kitchen. Every tile has to be 100% or the slightest variation will stand out.
 
Can’t believe you are all blaming the lights 🙂 🙂 has someone on here done it and you are all sticking uo for him ?
yes the lighting makes it look worse, but itsa rubbish tiling job, end if
 
Welcome back Craig
Only a fool would tile without the finished lighting being in. I understand a plasterer wouldn't as there is always another trade to cover in perfect finish😳😁
 
Come on lads, so every bathroom u have tiled in all your years have had spot lights in the ceiling ? If the answer is yes , you are either
A talking bull
B been tiling a week

The positioning of those lights and the shadows they will cast even if the job is perfect and all the shadows are even it's still going to look crap now matter how well it's been done .
