Hi,
I’ve recently had my bathroom re-done which includes floor to ceiling white tiles however we didn’t notice until they’d been grouted that the tiles vary in colour/shade so I now need advice on how tiles should be laid as I am in dispute with the tile company.
Our builder that employed the tiler said that he tiled from one box at a time and when we came home in the evenings it was obvious he had done certain areas each day.
I was not told by the tile supplier that I should check batch codes but having ordered only 17 boxes it seems as though the tile provider would have checked this before they left the warehouse although not guranteed so we cannot be certain that different batches have not been used however looking at the wall it looks as though there has been variation within a box not necessarily between batches.
When speaking with the tile company the two people there I have spoken with have contradicted themselves
1. Said that you should check batch codes and always tile box by box unless they are natural/stone tiles where you will need to mix and match - this is what the builder said the tiler had done but we still have the variation in tiles.
2. The second person told me that you have to pick and mix between boxes to get the right shade even if they are all the same batch code.
The tiles I used are Johnson’s square white porcelain tiles.
Please can anyone advise on the correct way to tile with white tiles and if anyone has experienced this in the past?
Thank you!
