I hate seeing people getting stiched up, paying top price for a poor quality job!
Have some great DIY disaster pics that I took today, will upload shortly.....
 
Been doing a couple of jobs for a local builder, One house was kitchen and utility walls and floors and a conservatory with ufh. Unfortunately the guy that owned the house tiled the bathroom himself, you would have thought that after the first couple of tiles he'd have realised that tiling really wasn't for him.....

I didn't ask to be honest, it was the second job I'd done for this builder and didn't want to offend his customer by asking too many questions about it! The whole lot is shocking, these are just a few of the worst bits!
 
To be honest some of that work almost fits where it touches, almost:lol::lol:
 
i was in a relatives in lancashire recently and he'd just finished tiling his bathroom. what a mess it is but the best of it is he thinks it is a spot on job and is now doing tiling jobs for other people. his last job took him 14 hrs and earned him £450. i had to bite my tongue. i wish i earned that much :mad2:
 
Depends on supplier . Theirs 57 meters in the house to do .when i opened the pallet today theirs a batch issue so refused to lay
 
Re: Hall of shame....

Here are a few photos of a floor we went to look at a couple of weeks ago. the tiler came recommended, one of the residents had already paid for a flight to fly the tiler to italy to tile their house there. he had been there 2 days before he got his marching orders and he never went to italy. the tiles are johnsons made turkey. I have posted some photos of the finished floor in the show us your work thread.
