Is this job being done correctly

[Antony Davies]

hello looking for some advice.

we had our tiler come and do half a days work today and i am not sure about the work that has been done so far and want to see what you all think before he comes back to carry on with the job tomorrow.

the spacing between tiles looks very uneven and some tiles don't seem to match up. also the wall corner doesn't seem to be right. Not sure if i am being over the top and it will look good when finished.

took some pictures and also picture of the adhesiveness. thank you for your help.

used is this okay to use for a bath shower wall?

your opinions would be much appreciated

it's all a spectacle.....🙁
sorry

I don't think is a tiler...unless the tiles is really bad.

 

[Matt Bott]

In my honest opinion this is not a good standard at all, i can see the tiles are not level at the bath hence the joint closing and not lining up, the corner heights look different to, wall prep is not great but hopefully a more experienced tiler could advise you further, (cheap tiles can have curves and not be the same size)

3 words - he's no tiler!

 

[peteablard]

Don't let him carry on whatever you do, he's a chancer not a tiler

I don't know how this people get the job.

 

[demi34]

Someone need to shoot this tiler

 

[Matt Bott]

I don't know how this people get the job.

Because I think some customers pick tilers by price
Same as tiles

not even the tiles are tiles.
50/50 %? 😉

 

[White Room]

In the forth picture from the top, some of the wall prep looks a bit thin on the ground.

I I think to even ask the question you already know it's a bad job and you're not happy with it Don't let him carry on!!!

Ha...understatement of the year!! Just a splash of primer would have been a start 🙁

 

[Italy]

what do you mean?

I mean that the blame could also be tile.
They do not seem good.
50% blame the tiler, for how is laying.
50% blame the tiles.

 

[Antony Davies]

what would you say is wrong with the tiles? these are the tiles we bought Wickes Brook Beige Glazed Porcelain Tile 300 x 600mm Pack 6 | Wickes.co.uk - http://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-Brook-Beige-Glazed-Porcelain-Tile-300-x-600mm-Pack-6/p/147339

 

[Rick-o]

I agree with Antonio.. Tiles can be bad, however the cuts above the bath should be level at least

 

[Italy]

does not seem calibrated. tries to measure whether the sides are all equal.

 

[White Room]

Tiles should be checked before any fixing takes place in case of any faults.

This is a customer review on the tiles this can be the case with a lot of tiles, a good tiler would still be able to do a better job than you have taken pictures of.

 

[Ttt1601]

Wickes tiles can be bad for quality and size issues, this certainly isn't helping, bit even still the tiler should be working the size issues out or coming to you to discuss if they are that bad they are unworkable or beyond his level of skill, or lack of it

 

[Spare Tool]

Wickes tiles are renound for being sizey, but after two rows thats no excuse for that shambles, only thing right with those pics is the adhesive..
So how you gonna play this when he turns up in the morning Anthony?

 

[Antony Davies]

i bought the tiles before this review the previous ones are all good :/

 

[White Room]

"People are Jealous" Oh please 😕

 

[Antony Davies]

do you think we would be able to get our money back for the tiles based on that... we bought them over a month ago

good question i am not to sure at the moment lol awkward...

 

[Rookery]

It's very, very poor. Little or no background preparation.
Setting out non-existent. Full tile into a corner, obviously assuming the walls are plumb which they never are. Tiled straight off bath edge.
And that's just the bits we can see.

Nowt awkward about it!
You tell him it's crap and your not prepared for him to continue otherwise it will cost him more when you have to pay someone else to get it redone professionally .
You take the tiles back to Wicks that are left and get your money back.
Then you use the Tilers Forum directory for someone local, check them out, and have them do the job!

Hi
Poor wall preparation ( looks like straw walls? )holes need to be made up and should be primed.
Poor tiling. Can't see any adhesive, so looks like it's dot and dabbed!
Poor tiles. He's got no chance keeping the joints level, if the tiles are that far out. ( maybe you could measure some. .)

 

[Just Rizzle]

whos responsible for the prep work

 

[Just Rizzle]

prep the walls right then the tiling is the easy bit
