He'd added the white tiles to bring it out to the same level as the shower area! The addy on the whites were still wet even after a month:yikes:

Re: Hall of shame....

The customer had saved up and got an extra loan for the job to be done, only to faced with that mess He had told her so much c**p that i was gob smacked, the list is endless and i would be here all night!!

cutting the heads off the screws and siliconing them into the toilet fixing holes is 'a trick of the trade' :yikes:

A few pics from a job end of last year. Customer rang me and asked if i would come round and take a look as she was not happy with the work that the tiler was doing, he had not finished the job and had already been paid :yikes:. She was in tears while i was there and just wanted to take a hammer to it.

couple of the pics are after i'd taken tiles off and sink removed!

I looked at the pics and saw the second one first...I didn't think it looked that bad...till I saw the rest!...think I need :smart:

Re: Hall of shame....

Loving this subject, unbelieveable pics posted. Heres mine, with more to follow.
I did a job last year that a builder started and didnt finish, what he had done was crap. He started fixing large glass tiles but couldnt cut them with his grinder as they kept cracking! I fixed the glass tiles and the customer asked me to fix his mess. The floor was p****d and a tiny cut was left running into the hallway that was also supposed to be tiled. He'd left loads of cuts undone and a couple of wall tiles with corners missing!
Apparently he'd not had any complaints before, but the customer said he was a bully. Anyway she's suing him.

Some stunning mosaic work!

The purple mosaic I re-did, as luckily the customer had enough left, but there were other mosaics in the house that had been done badly but they couldnt afford to get it replaced. Theyd taken the cheapest quote. The plumber called me in to do it as I knew him through another job and he said the bathroom had been reboarded square but for some reason the tilers spirit level mustve been telling them different, hence the gap!

The other pic was from my local chinese takeaway I couldnt believe the mess and took a sneeky pic!
