It was his first day today. I found him on mybuilder. He wasn't the cheapest quote and I chose him because he says he's a professional tiler. It's a bathroom which we're fully tiling with white travertine tiles 30 x 45 x 12. The things I'm worried about / unhappy about are:

Hello, we had a new bathroom fitted in sept 2015, (paid around 7k) and around 4 months ago we noticed a problem with the tiling in two places;

2) cracks in shower area which is a wet room which gets about 40 mins of use per day.

When you enter a job in JOTM it only allowed 1 picture!

Advice please chaps - i’m a bit new to all this! I’ve been to a house today where they have had a very poor tiling job done where tiles have come loose, floors not levelled, loads of lipping etc etc. The builder has done a runner and left them in the sh*t!

Hi
I managed to chip a tile :(
What is best bet to solve this problem?
Should I try to take the tile up and replace it?
Failing that, could it be filled?
Has been a frustrating introduction to tiling.
Any advice appreciated.
Cheers

Hi All
had a few emails from that British gas backed company called "local hero", it looks ok on the face of it, you register with them, get sent works to quote, they charge the customer the invoice and pay you have they take a "small" percentage for their fee, not sure on what value that is...

I've been working with a property developer & an architect which I thought was going well. I did the shower area as usual & thought I was doing a good job of it.
There is some very slight lapping on the tiles but nothing I'd ever consider as a bad job. As it stands I'm not working with these...
Thanks for taking the time to look at this post. I've used this forum many times in the past, but never posted. Hopefully this is in the right place!
