    Is this a bad Job? Or am I worrying over nothing?

    Hi, Hope everyone is well. I'm after some advice please. I'm currently having my bathroom tiled floor to ceiling. Tiler started yesterday and has completed 3 walls. Before he left he mentioned that in the top corner near the ceiling there is only a small tile due to uneven walls. Not really...

    Thoughts on quality of this tiling?

    This isn’t my timing but a professional installation. I’ve cherry picked the worst parts, but I’d love a view if this is acceptable or not? The wall tiles overall look pretty even, but up close some areas look like they have a poor finish, and in some cases the grout looks rough. On the floor...

    Is this acceptable tiling?

    Hi, I would like to get some opinions before asking the tiler to redo anything. All three are in very visible places, right in the doorway, one right under the recess in the shower and the other you'd be looking straight at when using the bog. Thanks

    What to do with this wall?

    I’m installing a bath in this area. There used to be a shower there & that brick wall had a board over it which was soggy & weakened so I removed it back to the brick. I’ve bought a 12mm hardiebacker board to put over the brick area. I’m aware I have to install with an adhesive & screws but...

So my main question is can this be fixed? and if so...
