Hi, a professional tiler has been working on our bathroom for two weeks and still not done. But lots of edges look jagged not in line with ceiling and door as well.

Pictures below. Is this acceptable please? Not sure where we stand as haven't paid yet.

Certainly lacks attention to detail, have you aired your concerns
Thanks for the reply - appreciated.

Yes we have asked and also said about one tile that was broken on corner and he replaced.

Didn't like to keep questioning professional which but having seen window now was after other views before speaking to him again tomorrow.

As Dave has said its not the best. Some can easily be addressed. Most of the top cuts will be grouted
and siliconed as will the corners but some cuts are not up to a fair standard along with what i assume
is around the window and need to be addressed. You have to wonder what its going to look like
once its grouted.

Thanks for the reply. There is another one on window chipped on front.

Would that be due to saw? They are porcelain tiles. Worried more will be damaged the same

So would it be a white silicone to ceiling and can you get coloured sealant to match and cover corners.

Thanks again.

Morning, the setting out near the door frame hasn’t allowed for the architrave being out of plumb. The bottom right hand mitre on the trim looks to be very proud. And the cut to the window frame is too large. Also the tile at the bottom of the window has a unacceptable chip in it. And Lastly this joint is out of line.

Its not pretty, I wouldn't be happy with that.

Some bits might be hidden with silicone, but if you are not happy speak to them before it goes any further.

Is the bathroom massive or is he doing a lot of other work 2 weeks in a bathroom. ??I’d expect perfection if that’s the tiling time frame

Straight answer is no, thats an unacceptable standard of tiling. However, how you proceed is entirely up to you. Payment should not be paid.
