Hi and:welcome:to the deep end

 

[DHTiling]

Hello and welcome.. some serious water damage there.

 

[White Room]

Hi and welcome

That looks a serious mess, the joists look like there've been chopped up and had smoke damage.

 

[mikethetile]

youve got a job on there mate

 

[Ken Bruty]

:welcome:

 

[Scott]

You may as well replace them joist while your at it! Id also add some noggins in there too even though the span is short. I also wouldnt put the ply on the walls, no need just use plasterboard and tank it or use a backer board and tank the joins.

Thats a big job you got there for your third job!

 

[White Room]

That is a job that some seasoned tilers would get other trades in

[DHTiling]

That is grouted isn't it..

 

[Colour Republic]

That is grouted isn't it..

I thought so too.

Can I ask if a shower tray is being fitted or are you installing a drain into the floor? if so which one?

Oh did you not agree a price at the start pawelnrg? and now you don't know how much to charge?

 

[mikethetile]

are you sure its grouted, looks like addy to me

 

[david campbell]

don't think it's grouted theres no Silicon in the corners

 

[DHTiling]

I near to finish what I shut tell price???

Don't mean to be blunt here pawelnrg, but that is not a very good standard of tiling as i thought you were a long standing tiler.

Is that tile on the boxing cut short..? and is it grouted..

 

[Time's Ran Out]

I've posted in another section on this thread but decided to have a look/read of the posts so far.
I have 2 issues with this work -
If your electrics are as bad as your tiling it should be condemned.
And if you are charging someone for the standard of work you have shown in these pictures - I hope they don't pay and will then have some money to put right the mess you have produced.
One for the rogues gallery as far as I can see.:yikes:

 

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

Well said Dave, I'm not one to find fault in DIY people, but you can not charge for this standard of work. Sorry but there are good tilers finding things hard at the moment

 

[Daz]

It looks as though you have taken on a few challenges. With regards to the latest pics, it appears that you have worked hard but the results don't seem to do your effort any justice. Being totally honest with you, if I was the customer I would be requesting that you remove all tiles before you leave.

Sorry to be so critical but you may do better carrying out the preparation work and sub'ing the tiling work until you have gained more experience. I would suggest that you either do a course (I think Diamond Training are close to you) or start tiling your bathroom over and over until you are capable of doing the job professionally.

I thought everyone was being a little over critical. When I viewed the enlarged images though I can see what they are talking about Pawel. How bad were the walls before you started tiling them ?? Were they very uneven ?

 

[pawelnrg]

walls I make myself...

about a quality...
that photo say something?
