There are few very good female tilers who you would not categorize in the same league as the work of your bathroom.

shes only 27 so i think shes just started out doing this and forgot to mention to me she wasnt experienced in tiling , i just decided to give her a go liked idea of a woman working in my house for a change thought she would be neater and cleaner etc lol, back fired big time

can you be more specific. Did she forget to tell you she was not experienced or are you now just telling us this information that she told you before the job started that she was not experienced?

she never mentioned to me she wasnt experienced in tiling, im just realising this from the response ive had here, if she had told me no way would i have let her do my bathroom.

ive just had a reply from her, basically saying shes injured her neck plastering and wont be available for work for a while, i can either wait and she will sort out what she has accepted as her fault, which is 1 tile on the side of my window lol not ones out above bath, the 1 sunken border and the couple of areas where the adhesive is showing above grout. no mention of floor broken tiles, the 2 chipped tiles etc. she did say if i couldnt wait to get someone else out to sort this couple of things out and she wont charge me for work shes done so far. that appears fair enough unless having to have all the work re done and all the costs for tiles, adhesive, grout, costs more than what i owe her and thats without the fact my heating mat could be ruined too. i need to decide what to do and i guess i need a tiler here to give me an honest opinion and quote
