HI,

I have recently had some tiling work done at home in the bathroom - yet unfinished. I am unhappy with the quality of work but don't know where I stand.

Can I post pictures here for some feedback and advice? if so is this the right area to post it in?

Thanks in advance.

Thats what we are here for, fair impartial advice.

Also let us know what adhesive is being used and what the surface being tiled onto, ta

OK - thanks. I have had an electrician around (who has done alot of work for a mate and is very good) He put in anew fuse board for me so I could have a shower fitted. I said I needed to tile the bathroom also and he said the plumber that came with him for the shower does tiling. Here are some pictures of the work so far. I'd appreciate honest, fair constructive feedback from you guys that do this for a living. Is it a good / fair / bad job?

Got to the forth picture before I had to stop looking, sorry grid but that in no way constitutes tiling as we know it.

What size are the tiles, and what adhesive was used ? I know there will be lots of comments on this job, which, in layman's terms is gash.

Sorry again mate, who supplied the materials, and have you paid this cowboy anything yet ?


The list of snags / wrong doing is endless, where in the country are you by the way ?

Ouch, look at the level on the window cill....

Don't let him do anymore and point out all the things that are wrong. You obviously know what they are as you took pics of them all. :)
