Tilers Forums Hall of Shame.... - Tile Advice

Re: Hall of shame....

A solicitor couple asked me to take a look at their en-suite floor as some of the tiles were lifting. The enclosure doors open outover and drip a lot of water on the floor. For years. The tiles were all loose and it needed to come out as the floor was rotten underneath.

When we lifted the tiles they were dot and dabbed onto the UFH mat, at times using silicone. Awesome. The porcelain wall tiles pretty much fell off as they were dot and dabbed about an inch off the wall as well, with tubbed addy. The UFH probe was loose under the tiles. Not surprisingly the customers were quite pleased to have the job put right.

The ufh was a waste of time then...

The tiles were on top the the wall profiles. To get the profiles off the tiles had to be smashed. New floor, enclosure, UFH and tiles. £3k.

It looks like a lot of water has got between the tile and the shower door. If so, reinforces the idea of waterproofing the entire room before anything goes in. Something I strongly believe in. Trashy work though. Doesn't look like the rot has spread to far, any more moisture and could of cost much more than that. Recently priced a total redo top to bottom plumber, elec, tiler thats after the bathroom gets demolished. $16k, shotgun in the mouth material..:cry_smile:

Bit of a DIY disaster this one, only done 6 months ago, the misses put her foot down and told the other half she wanted it done properly this time! really does look much worse in the flesh

It would been cheaper to pay someone to do it right the first time....

The last picture has got to be one of the wonkiest joints I've ever seen:yikes:

 

[AMtek]

its just an absolute mess, every tile has lippage, joints all over the place, floor tiles de-bonded and cracked, tiled bath panel had fallen off, trim was attrocious. basically anything that could be wrong had been done wrong!

 

[spooner68]

pretty good for a DIY. I looked at one today where the plumber did the tiling. The only thing I had to say was well I wouldn't attempt to do the plumbing.....they are having a think. Lippage, missed joints and the shabbiest grouting and silicone I have seen in a good while. I asked her if she had complained about it and funnily enough she told me that the plumber won't answer her calls.
