Tiler - Poor Job or? - TilersForums.com

[Newbie2022]

Hi,

I’m just after some advice from you professionals if you can help?

Ive recently hired a tiler to do some tiling in the kitchen, mid-wall tiles and the floor. It’s only a small kitchen and the quote was £300.

Id just like your help and feedback on how the tiler has done. I’m by far, no means a DIY’er but to me the job he did seemed poor.

He also didn’t fit any tiles under the washing machine (which is not integrated).

Ive attached some pics for you to look at and if you could help me and let me know what you think.

That’s certainly not a tiler. 😳

That’s only a selection of what he’s done, there’s more...

What can I do

Here’s some from this afternoon, it looks like the floor tiles have move and cracked or been placed unevenly.
The cuts on the wall tiles look poor and the grouting needs filling?
Is this repairable?

thansk for your replies, complete novice to professional trades.

That is horrendous, stop him doing anymore now.

He has said he is returning tomorrow after I’ve highlighted the issues. Sadly I’ve paid already.

What would be the best course of action? Is this repairable?

Not in my eyes no. Never ever pay before completion and satisfaction

You need to express your concerns and a full refund and compensation to put it right imho.

Gents, you’ve been great, thank you for your rapid advice and listening to my concern.

Oh my word I dont know how these people get any work at all.
That is about as bad as it gets.
As said full refund, its a rip out and start again im afraid
never pay any money up front and dont pay until your happy
Sorry

Same thoughts here - no point in trying to put lipstick on a pig. It's a shocking job that needs to be re-done properly. My thoughts with all of these things are that if they're hapy to leave it looking that bad, then what's going on underneath? No way they've done correct prep, used a primer or even the right type of adhesive.

Rip it all out now before it starts to fail of its own accord anyway.

Also - use review sites like Google and let people know how bad their craftsmanship is.
