    What could be causing this? - damp behind tiles? - wet grout

    It looks like water seapage coming through the grout, but cannot feel any wetness. Water pipes are below the tiles pictured. Could it be dampness behind the tiles through poor prep work?. I don't know to be honest, so am purely guessing from logic. This first appeared 2 days ago. (Part of an...

    Oh, I agree. I could not care one iota if it was done by Carol Vorderman dressed in leather brandishing a whip and handcuffs (she would never have completed the work after a year :D) or atilla the hun in drag.

    He knows Andy. I gave him a test area to redo to see how his work panned out and it was still poor. I could not honestly expect to believe he is capable of fixing the whole room if he cannot fix a small area which needed doing. It was all I could do to see how he handles a small area before I...

    He actually told me that the tiles would not bond as good on new plaster, so better without. Strange one, that. Yet he goes ahead and tiles on plaster. (new or old, plaster is the same to me :D)

    It was written in the contract that walls had to be plastered. Did the ceiling but not the walls. I said it was written in the job spec and forms part of the contract, but he said they did not need doing. He tiled over part blown skim, skim which was not blown and old adhesive. Sprayed with...

    Thanks @Boggs - Response from fitter is 'plastering wouldn't of achieved anything in the room apart from extend the job'. It was in the contract and I had said beforehand that the room was to be plastered. Lo and behold, many tiles are all over the place.

    Been having bathroom installed. Have posted some photos of the standard of tiling, where I have notice some problems. Wavy tiles, spacing seems to be different from one tile to another, trim doesn't seem flush and the walls are not flat with tiles bulging.

    I am really out of sorts here. I only see things like text colour, font, font size, insert image clickables and have to place http address. I would rather PM you, but I don't see 'reply' in the PM you sent :(
