Opinion of tiling job so far - TilersForums.com

[Simon Dale]

Seriously a good tiler will point out the mistakes and rectify them . I would also remove a tile to see if there is good coverage if not i would take them all down

Another thing, if you can't mitre properly there are end caps not cheap

Cant see any adhesive squeezed out from side of tiles

Tell him to put things right before he goes any further as you are quite rightly not happy with his work ,see how he reacts ,if badly tell him to leave the house Pronto and then take things further at least then you have given him chance to make things right and he will be extra careful hopefully

This is pretty much what I've done.

He's going to send around a 'real' tiler tomorrow for a chat with me.

I'd like to give him the chance to put things right however I'm obviously cautious.

The tiling not good at all. Tell him to stick with plumbing work and not tiling.

It’s just a shoddy job, and I would feel insulted that he thought it was acceptable!

So I decided to see what the coverage was like on the tile (after advice from here). I have taken down tiles before so I was a little worried I'd take a chunk out the wall but this tile came off with (worryingly). very little effort. It felt like it was just attached on the right and left side.

Looking at all the tiles I am wondering if he applied the adhesive to the tiles not the wall as I can see now adhesive through the gaps in the tiles.

What time is the tiler calling?
