Just been asked by a customer to sort out the silicon between the tiles and shower tray. I was originally asked to tile the shower cubicle but apparently she couldn't afford me. What she really meant was she couldn't afford for me not to do it!!!

The gap varied as you can see between £2 and £3.20. (Which is what the should have been paid) The photo of the edge is where all the grout/addy mix combo :mad2:was just left where it met the other tiles on the stud wall. The photo of the ceiling is where the gap is filled with grout/addy, that measured 14mm between top of tile and ceiling. AAArrggghhh

That's a disgrace. How is that ever going to be watertight there??
