Hello, we have just had some tiling done. The tiles look ok in the daylight, but when you turn the lights on they don’t look very straight/ flush. When you run your hands over them you can tell where some of the tiles aren’t quite flush. The wall is new and was freshly plastered before tiling, so I was wondering if it was the tiles themselves but when I set them out on a flat surface there is little difference in their depth (please see picture).
I would love to get some advise from any experts. Can anything be done to make them look straighter? Is it just very difficult to achieve a flat finish and this effect is to be expected as the tiles are lit from above? They have charged us £100 per meter (plus vat) labour cost, to which they have commented that the price is generous as they should charged more. Would I be fair in going back to the person who did it to point this out? I wouldn’t want to go back to them if it’s actually a good job fairly priced. Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
