If he refuses to put it right then threaten to take him to the small claims court to regain your losses..
Assuming Sam the man down the pub didn't do it for cash..
Can it be fixed? How?
My question is CAN IT BE FIXED?
I did the waterproofing so I know it exists. That isn't the question.
THE TILES SURROUNDING THE DRAIN NEED TO BE REMOVED. CAN THIS BE DONE WITHOUT DAMAGING THE TRAY? HOW?
SO CAN IT BE FIXED WITHOUT DAMAGING THE SHOWER TRAY? How?
Excellent thread, not the most complex of threads, but an enjoyable one to read, by the way, I don't get out much.
After re-reading many of the posts I think I understand the question.
We're wanting a definite answer, non of this advise lark, a simple Yes, or No.
A yes or no, based on a total stranger being able to do a slow and steady tile removal, bash, chisel, scrape all adhesive away, type of job. Then obviously re-fit correctly with absolutely zero damage.
My answer is:
No.
Thanks.
I never work for cash . Perhaps you could threaten him with the tax man . I'm sure he would love an in investigation.No. It wasn't "Sam the man" but I've never met a tiler who works for anything other than cash.
At this juncture I am being realistic. Ask him to put it right and take it from there. Personally, I don't think I see how it can be fixed now without removing the full floor. What annoys me the most is that the one reason I didn't do this job myself is because a wet room needs to be done right and I was scared of making an expensive mistake. While the tiling may not be perect, I can live with it. I know the tanking underneath IS perfect. But he, who has done 80 wet rooms, and had used these exact tiles before, made a mistake at the single most important and crucial part of the job....and it's now causing me sleepless nights.
I've tried gently prying up the tiles; there is no movement. I'm worried about cracking the plastic drain or citing through the wet board. And if he does come and fix it I won't know for a long time if that joint it still waterproof.
My plan is, assuming he agrees to come back; inspect the tray closely after he has removed the tiles and make a judgement call.
Personally I don't think small claims court is an option. It only leads to more loses and frustration with no guarantees odd a favorable outcome.

there might be a "trick of the trade" to get the tile up and fix the job without a complete removal.
I dont think it should be too far fetched to come to a tiling forum to look for that sort of advice?
