broken tile. Don't worry about the gunk on the window that was there before. But if you can see also from this picture the overhang over the window frame. These is because he hasn't set out properly i guess

 

[Soso]

Cant see it very well in this picture but there is about a 20mm / 1 inch gap from top of tiles to ceiling. Stuff with caulk and grout apparently but i wouldn't know

What did you pay them to do ?

You can pm me of you don’t want to talk prices

 

[acaciaguy]

Any bigger / wider room pics. It’s not a great job from those.

 

[Soso]

Just messaged you.

It’s a large shower. Shower room. What was Jon you got them to to. Rip out bath etc. And fit new shower room

Have made the mistake when I first started but removed them and redone it.

Bit late on the conversation but i too did the same once and like you re did the whole lot.

Hi all, it’s been a while but the dispute is still ongoing. They are now saying that they had to start with a full tile at the bath due to metro tile choice, is this correct? See their reply
We are of the belief that based on the tile selection being bevelled edged, that starting with a cut above the bath, would lead to a greater risk of water ingress as well as less aesthetically pleasing due to the silicone line not being consistent.

Nonsense

Ask the client how to set the room out!
That’s why they are paying you - to do a professional job.
Clients away on holiday, that’s okay I’ll send him a photo of how it’s going to look - he’s going to be really confident in your ability.
What’s been done is sh*te and these chancers do our trade no favours.

Must have been on song that night - apologies!

Nonsense

Thought so

Regarding the vertical corner joints, they say.

Wickes Way of Working stipulates that grout is to be applied to all vertical joints as well as joints between wall and floor tiles etc.

Do you also know what size these corner joints should be as some areas are as small as 1 - 2mm?

They're wrong(lying) again. All transitions between walls and floors should be siliconed as per adhesive manufacturer instructions. Find out what adhesive and grout they used and you could get that in writing from them

 

[Just Rizzle]

you have a ceiling thats on the wonk re board ceiling and skim the tiling looks fine except the slither cut.
alternatively knock the whole house down and get them to get the joists level.
ps on my 6th can of Guinness may not be thinking straight but i feel great.
but im leveller than that ceiling lol
