I swear I read a post like this a week ago. Sorry to hear about this. It's happening far too often now and leaving people with so much hassle and loss of money.
No, this was a new build so the house was still being worked on. We were there the first day to discuss how the tiles were going to be set out. We were told the tiling would take 4 - 5 days but when we went back on day 3 it was complete and being grouted. Although we think the grout line is too wide, we could live with it. We cant live with tiles that are so unlevel that you trip over them, and the depth of the grout is so low that it is painful to walk across the floor in bare feet because the edges of the tiles are sharp, esecially where the grout line is very wide. The tiler has replaced 20 (600 x 600) of the tiles. This has made it worse because a) the tiles are a completely different colour to the rest b) most of them are even more uneven than the original c) taking the old ones out caused 18 surounding tiles to get chipped, this is on top of about 7 others that were chipped from the original installation. We purchased an Exact tool for the tiler to use to get the grout out but the grout line is so wide that the tool is useless. There are just too many seperate problems to overcome and there is only so much upheaval we are prepared to go through. We have given the tiler free reign to put this right, and we have borne the full cost of that too so we have really tried to be fair....My origianl thread gives a bit more details:....http://www.tilersforums.com/tiling-forum/62840-british-standard-grout-line.html
