Another Builders bathroom disaster

[faithhealer]

Todays job, Bathroom to make good after builder

Supposed to have had a wet floor but due to water coming up in the opp corner to the waste they turned it into a cubicle! Water still doesn't drain away though, slates a bit rough and not cut into the envelope, builder tried to overcome this by a sheet of mosaic around the drain! Looks awful and doesn't work!

Wedi membrane covers the whole floor and wall but seems to be stuck on 5mm plywood, can move the walls

Used the wrong shade of tile when trying to put right himself

large format tile with tub gear and 10mm thick dot and dab

Silicon around edges is half inch in places with no smoothing out.

grout in one corner is swept in like a sand dune

UFH under his dot and dab, therefore not very many warm spots!

sand and cement for grout at first then he was told to replace cubicle with 'proper' grout

Corners of cubicle have this plastic quadrant coving siliconed on, heavy on the silicon

Cubicle has a box seat with mosaic, not enough grout in so water stands despite fall, some grout actually missing.

Mosaic on ceiling, mismatch galore

grout on wall varies from white to gray

brickbond tiling sucks as well

customer asked me for advice, only one answer really isn't there.

FH, Is it possible that you are being a little too picky? 😀

Another day, another dodgy builders job.
This one had been tiled, large format dot and dab. At least it was a cement addy but was on three coats of flakey paint!!! Tiles actually resting on the bath as well!!
