[QUOTE="eddcottee, post: 986380, member: 53196"] Im never too quick to pull apart somebody else's work, but that really looks very sloppy in my opinion. White metros with black grout is a nightmare combination in all fairness, as it will show up even the most minor imperfection, but I would always tell a potential customer this from the outset and would add in the additional time required to get a decent finish on the grout. If the client is happy to pay for it, I'm more than happy to install with that colour combination. Had they of taken more time on the grouting and cleaning of the grout, it would have looked a lot better. The layout of the tiles is bad in areas and taking more time to get that right would have helped. It looks rushed. The trims look terrible in places and it is far from a professional finish. In fact it looks more like a very average diy job to me. Not all tilers will mitre external tile edges as you have requested and I am one who doesn't as I've only been going a few years now and am not confident I could do these to a standard which is acceptable and charge a client for that. I could do a damn site better than your "tiler" has mind you! I would have explained this and suggested a trim on that external corner instead, rather than just hoping I can bodge it! I think it's a poor job overall and you should be raising the issue with the contractor and withholding payment until it's all put right. [/QUOTE]
