Acceptable Tile Level Difference

[Bolter]

Frostfree - please see post above - no 35 - which crossed with yours. Job didn't change along the way. Originally he was booked to come in Tues/Wed 26/27 May, as kitchen fitting was due to complete Fri 22 May. Kitchen finished Fri 22 and he came up that evening and that's when he said the laytexing was needed, and that he had to jiggle days around, but would have it finished by Fri 29 May. No pressure from us re that - we were just pleased it would be finished before the weekend. And surprised that it only took him a day when originally he said two. No difficulties along the way, nor so in discussions with him since. We're fair and reasonable people and always try to treat everyone as we expect to be treated ourselves. Typical Brits in fact, find it very difficult to complain and quite frankly it's making us feel sick having to do so, never mind being unhappy with the finished product! Ta.

You are quite within your rights to not be happy with this one. For £40/msq inc materials, I would expect nothing but the best. Flat at the very least.

Out of interest how many bags of latex were used?

Can you take a low level picture of the floor, but looking into the whole room, rather than focusing on one joint?

Basshunter is correct. The bevel is under the grout.

Bloody hell they are shiney 🙂 all the reflections mean its hard to see whats going on. Still, proof is in the pictures you originally posted.

Get yourself a long level or something long and straight, and run it over the floor in different places. I would use my 2m level. If you look under the level when its flat on the floor, you can see under it in some places, and it will be flush with the floor in others. Same method you used with a ruler, but will give better results and information. This is what you need to show the tiler.

You just need to look along the plinth line....:yikes:

I wish you good luck in getting this rectified, please let us know what the end result is..

Yup there you go, didnt notice that! :yikes:

imo the fixer has tried to make a killing here, got caught out but his price reflects the fact that he definantly has enough on the job to be made to come back and rectify and not be to much out of pocket if only he had taken that time it could have been a good job.😳

As well as looking at the discrepencies along the plinth lines, look at the "jagged" reflections. If the floor was done properly, there would be no wonky reflection lines. Judging by the end result, it was a waste of time applying slc, cos it didn't work.

The job has been rushed and the tiler takes little pride in the standard of his work. He charges top money, though, so should deffo be called back to rectify. I wish you well.

Not acceptable whatsoever, obviously a rush job and very little if any tiles adjusted to get level,anyone can tile like that if they were let too.But i like many would rather leave a job perfect in my eyes and my customers happy,and i don't get £40 inc materials over here in Ireland !! :incazzato:

Lipping is unacceptable, changing few tiles won't solve the problem, if you are looking for perfect job, get your floor regrinde - but, with such a big lipps, that can be quite expensive.
