    Advice on work being done please

    Hi, My tiler has just left and apart from him chatting to me about his life story for majority of the day I have just checked some of the tiles with my straight edge and it is not flat on a few of them. I usually do work myself, I am not a professional but really take my time getting it right...

    Bad job? Help! Or just being fussy!

    Hello, after some advice, I feel like I’ve had a really bad tiling job done, it’s half finished as he’s tried to place dark grout over white grout and realised half way through its not working, I just feel where he’s finished the spacing between the tiles isn’t even, am I being too fussy?

    Am I being picky?

    Am I being picky? This is a photo of a local tilers work, they have excellent reviews and everyone is saying how wonderful this job looks. I wouldn't be happy with this tiling job, surely the tiles should be more uniform and the end cut should match the adjacent tile. Any thoughts from you...

    Help! Is this acceptable or am I just being too fussy.

    I’ve recently had my bathroom tiled. I think a few errors have been made and would like to know if I'm being fussy. Shower: 1. Gap of about an inch left above top row of tiles 2. Thin strip of tiles along the bottom and even these are different sizes with different grout spacing (see pics)...

    Is this bad tiling or are we being too picky?

    We’ve just had our bathroom finished yesterday and we are really disappointed with the finish of the tiling. I’ve attached pictures but basically the grout is missing/incompletely in some places, the joins in the tiles are completely uneven/not level in multiple places, metal beading is...

    Being too fussy?

    Having a tiling job redone, because of a previous poor effort. the tiler has put down most of the tiles prior to grouting. a couple of the tiles have lips in them. Quite noticeable. Am I being to fussy? Is it a major thing for him to correct the two tiles? they are 600mmx600mm tiles.

    Stupid question - how do you skim half a wall when a wall is being half-tiled?

    I've got plasterers coming in next week to render the (brick) walls of my bathroom ready for it to be tiled. 3 of the walls will be tiled from the floor to the ceiling and the plasterers are going to sand/cement render those and not skim them. 1 wall will only be tiled half-way up the wall...

They were laid on a bed of white adhesive which is fully across the tiles not just the corners. The floor was coated with pva...
