I got to paragraph two and knew exactly where this was heading.
Time to front out your builder.this could get ugly. I can't even they the pictures but what you describe and the reaction from the guys this one must be a mess.

With everything that wrong it sounds like a wind up. Why did you get a builder to do your tiling? Was it price? Did he quote for everything? Do you live in a tiler free town just builders?

I too got to paragraphs two. I did think we hadn't had one of these for a couple weeks.

Anywho guys I'm sure they get the message!!

Out of curiosity where in the uk are you ? I might as well carrying recent trend of fixing these builder jobs!

Lots of people employ builders to renovate their homes. Some builders actually use tilers to tile, plumbers to plumb, sparkys to do the electrics etc. However, some builders think they can do everything themselves. Unfortunately, Indrin found out nearly too late that his builder was the latter. Indrin also found out (too late) how to prep & set tiles correctly.

This builder cannot tile. Do let let him tile in your house. Follow “Timeless Johns” advice.

This builder does not have a plausible excuse for what he has done to your bathroom. Do not believe anything that comes out of his mouth. You can print off this thread, but he will not look at it. He will say he has been tiling for 20 years and he has never had a problem.

You might be lucky and save a few tiles.

Good luck.

Thats the point, the word builder...that covers a broad spectrum when it comes to joe public..some expect a turn key project..so they trust the builder to either be the professional, or hire them in..not all are bad, I know one "builder" who is a perfectionist in everything he does, just very few and far between. But if you want tiling done, and only tiling, you employ a tiler.
