    Advice required: tiles lifting after 18 months - being told it's 'house movement'

    I would really appreciate some advice from those who know more about tiling than myself. We had an ensuite fitted in Feb 2017 - including tiling for recessed shower, backsplash around sink/toilet fitted units, and floor. At the time of install, much of the work of the first tilers to complete...

    Am I being a perfectionist?

    Hi, I have recently had my bathroom done and I wanted to get some advice about the finish of the tiles. I ended up going with marble tiles on the basis I won’t get my bathroom done again anytime soon. Unfortunately, some of the tiles look pretty jagged/uneven where they have been cut. I’m not...

    Unhappy with finish of beveled metro tiles and tile trim around window - are we being unreasonable?

    Our kitchen fitter has done a lovely job overall but we are disappointed with the finish around the windows which we feel lets the other good work down. I have attached pics and we have contacted him to say that we aren’t happy with the finish around the windows with the wedge of grout along...

    If your child ended up being a tiler, would you be proud of them?

    Something that might get deep this. And I'd like it if you guys kept it amicable like you usually do. But I wondered, if your boy or girl ended up being a tiler (not always like yourself EXACTLY perhaps they go down a different route but still end up tiling)... .. would you be proud of them?

    Am I Being Too Picky? (quality Of Tiling)

    We have a bathroom company in at the moment. We have concerns about the tiling. To me, it looks like a decent DIY finish, but not a professional 'luxury' finish that we were promised. I've attached some photos, but the main problems are: - mosaic tiles do not end in a straight line at the end...

    Tiling just complete - am I being critical?

    Hi, I've just had tiling done in my kitchen and I would appreciate opinions on if it's been finished correctly as they are the first tiles I've had done - the tiles are 'subway style' 100mm * 200mm to be installed with trim. Questions: - the depth from the sink to the window was two and...
