    Is this a bad tiling job?

    Hi guys, I’m new here. I’m a landlord and I have been in the process of getting some work done at a property. One of the jobs was a new kitchen with a tile splash back.

    Is failing to tank plasterboard enough to redo job?

    My new shower has (also new) plasterboard behind the tiles, which I'm pretty sure wasn't tanked before tiling, and I'm under the impression since 2018 building regs make this mandatory. Is this sufficient justification to insist on the job being redone? (there are a plethora of other issues...

    I’m about to tackle my most challenging tile job

    I’m torn on which pattern to use. They are 1x2s for the floor and walls. Seems like simple horizontal stack will be simple and easy to line up floor and wall vertical grout lines. But also considering 1/3 offset patterns. Will repeat or assending offsets look too busy? I don’t know if its...

    Bad Tiling Job?

    I was quoted over £4700 (inclusive of VAT) to rip out and replace my bathroom. This does not include the price of the bathroom suite itself nor does it include the cost of the actual tiles or removal of waste. I selected a local plumber in Norfolk who does bathroom installations. I checked out...

    Will this job look ok once grouted or do I need to ask for it to be redone?

    In the middle of getting my bathroom done and took a closer look today. The sloped ceiling cuts are not even, and then all of the corner cuts are also uneven. We are planning a grey grout so I am concerned it will look a mess once done. Do you think it will look ok, or should I get it redone?
