more to the point who chose the red tiles

Not really called for is that comment... it is about the tiling and not customers tile choice..

i would def overboard the ceiling

 

[dannyboy1066]

maybe some slimline modern architrave around the window

You could picture frame the window in the same tile... then cut field tiles to this feature....

A bit like this but obviously same tiles as you have up now...

Guys another thought. I joined this forum this morning and have probably spent 4-6hours trying to find an amicable solution. I could have just agreed with the offer of not having to pay and got on with my life. Instead I have still looked for advice from you as professionals on a workable solution. I work in the oil & gas industry but would not imagine you guys would want to spend much time on forums on this subject.

I can assure you there is nothing fishy ans my intentions are good. The tiler is a nice guy and I don't feel comfortable criticising his work, but it is a bit too obvious now. The first bathroom I did not inspect properly with other tradesmen and other jobs going on in the house. He had well started the second bathroom before I noticed the imperfections. These are fixable and would have talked to him prior to both jobs being completed.

Yep, overboard and skim the ceiling would be a simple fix.
And I have had to hack off the plaster from the window head, and tile directly to the lintel before (this was to level up two windows, and was in no way to fix a **** up on my part)
cough

If you do decide to overboard and skim, have plenty of polythene available.....

Hi whitebeam, what is the reason for this? The dust and mess you mean?

If it was me tony I would of stopped him after the first bathroom if I wasn't happy with the standard of work..but it's done now. and I wouldn't want it bodged up with silly borders.but it's hard to say without seeing the job.. 🙂

hey Andy, wasnt suggesting a silly border, a nice one was what I was thinking of!
