Discuss Advice needed - removing tiles from backer board after bad job in the Australia Tiling Forum area at TilersForums.com.
Perhaps I'm not explaining it clearly enough, or its just something I'm being fussy about. However, if you stand in the shower the grout lines don't point straight ahead but slightly to the left, with cuts getting smaller on the wall to the left, and cuts getting bigger to the wall on the right.
The small cuts by the brick wall don't bother me as they will be covered by boxing anyway.
How can you tell the walls are out? From a layman's point of view, it looks like the whole lot would have looked straight if he had worked off either the door or brick wall.
The timer admitted himself to that it was out, so whilst I do welcome further discussion does anyone also know how easy it is to remove the old tiles without damaging the backer board?
Many thanks
The biggest mistake the tiler made was not to involve you in the set out......However that's not always possible.
Taking them up is just going to remove this visual "mistake" and create another, it is running visually square to the door wall and once you've filled the brick wall side up with your sanitry stuff it's not going to look out of square as much. Your room is definitely out of square without a doubt, I personally would have set out differently with it being square but everyone is different! I think it's a mistake pulling them up to move it around 30mm or so as this will make the doorway look out by quite a bit and that's going to be a bigger eye sore and look like a real mess up!
To your question though, your boards should be fine if you make the tiler take the tiles up.
