Is this a good job - Tile Advice

[fifijayne]

Hi
Recently had a kitchen fitted and came home this evening and Tiler had finished work, we have white metro tiles and he suggested grey grouting. I feel the work in some areas is sub standard. And the grey grouting seems to make the errors more noticeable. What do you think?

No, it's definitely not a good job. I hope it was cheap or free

A clever use of silicone in the corner will make that look better . I would of built up the window sill if that is what it is to get rid of that slither and the other things just need to be done better.

Silocone and some cleaning will sort that out but not the best setting out,

Don’t let them do the silicone though, that’s poor as well.

It will take a bit more than that

Thanks for the comments. Do you think the problems can rectified or should the the tiling be re-done

Basic errors from a non Tiler or someone who has no interest in producing tidy work.
I’d go with the first!

The guy who did the tiling advertised in the local paper as a Tiler, so we presumed he would be good!

Hi guys. What do you suggest the Tiler does. Start again, re-do, get someone else in??? Do I pay??

We can't advise you about paying or not paying as that is a legal question , but I would get another tiler who is more capable .

My Tiler has now been back twice to rectify the mistakes. On closer inspection he seems to have made the job worse. I’ve gone from being upset, angry to just finding it quite amusing that someone can advertise as a Tiler but their work is substandard.

My 6 year old could mitre trims better than that.
