Hi Dan he was recommended by a friend whom he did painting and decorating for.

I've yet to meet a painter or decorator that can tile to a decent standard,but I've seen many that are as good as this one.....not!

Luckily I did not pay for this work, I am a concerned relative. Not good!!

In answer to the question, no this sort of tiling is not acceptable.

Why oh why do people who are painters, plasterers etc, etc keep thinking they can tile like its a an unskilled profession?

Bad setting out, corners not level etc.

If your not happy with the finish, and I know for a fact that if it was mine I certainly wouldn't be - DONT PAY HIM.

Hopefully then the people who are responsible for this shoddy work will get the message.

It's just a shame, as its costly and stressful I'd imagine for the customer.

Very true there!!! My dad agreed to have the bathroom done by him as he was recommended by another relative, personally I would have used a dedicated SKILLED tiler, not a painter and decorator. He has just done the floor, Ill put a picture up for you to see. This just keeps getting more hilariously bad !!!! Look at this!!!

 

[javeiro]

Look at this flooring he's done, I'm lost for words. I am not a professional but what do you guys think.
