Well done Kate for standing your ground :hurray:, i bet you feel a whole lot better now than you did last night.

Don't pay him a penny,

About the small cuts on the floor is most of it hidden by the sink & toilet ?
and what size are the cuts opposite that wall ?

Martyn, I know he used 'no more ply' but no idea what he used to stick them down. I only noticed this small strip when I looked at the pictures. The untiled area is where the shower is due to go.

Oh, another thing. He tiled behind the towel rail through the bars!! And the horrible looking things on the tissue on the floor are his used tea bags!

Tootall66, he started at the other side of the room, under the bath, with a full sized tile. The loo will be positioned over the thin pieces.

Thanks Kate if you can live with that its not ever so bad as long as the floor has been laid to the correct spec
In his defence the floor don't look too bad in that photo
However to the right of the towel rad there appears to be a bow/camber on the horizontal joints

If the guy was a plumber, why is he tiling round a radiator instead of removing it?

this really makes me mad.....:mad2::mad2::mad2:...see how mad i am? i for one at the moment is sitting watching bargain hunt due to lack of work and to see a job that looks like the preperation has had attention to detail spent on it....and some idiot has spoilt it by making basic rudimentary errors......well it just makes my head spin. looking at the pictures you have posted Kate your bathroom will look fantastic once finished correctly.......Oh one more thing i personally would have had the rad pipes extended and chased into the wall, something i would have discussed with you prior to starting would give a much cleaner finish on both the floor and wall.

Although you can't really tell from these pics, the radiator pipes are in front of a boxed in water pipe. Two walls finished now, just the wall over the bath and the last wall to do. Can you tell me, how do I clean these tiles once they are all off? Do I wait until they are really dry and sand them off?

CJ, what a shame there are people looking for work and then others can't find tilers to do their jobs.
