any advice re bad tiling job would be appreciated

[sparkle333]

shes just left her tile cutter here i think , i can do without all this to be honest and the thought of having all this re done and finding another tiler thats reasonably priced and having to take her to small claims court is a nightmare, its stopping electrician and plumber coming back and they are both real busy , i dont have enough money to rebuy all these tiles adhesive grout and pay someone else to remove tiles and re do them all , its going to megga bucks

what make and model is her tile cutter ?

 

[sparkle333]

i bought the ready made adhesive so i guess thats my fault although she should have known and told me and not used it, the adhesive hasnt caused the problems its her mis alignment of the tiles that looks so horrendous and putting 2 chipped tiles on walls and thinking thats acceptable , then denying it and saying ive chipped them after she went omg cheeky mare lol

Sorry the adhesive will cause a problem as it won't dry out under that size of tile.
There's a lot more wrong with that job than a couple of mis aligned tiles & a couple of chipped tiles.

omg its in the area where the shower cubicle is going to be

would you mind doing me a favour and list all the things you can see wrong from the pics plz if you dont mind

I was going to say if it is decent I'll buy it off you !

Had it been closer I would have come over to list everything and see 1st hand. Not really sure if we have a tiler close by that would help out .

i take it its a cheapy then lol, only this can happen to me along with all the other cowboys ive had in my house i want to cry :-( ive already had to pay a few jobs to be redone due to cowboys but this time im not going to be out of pocket, i need to work out the costs of the tiles etc, they are £4 a sq m cheaper than i paid now

i think ur about 45 mins from me cos my brother lives in bromsgrove and thats about 25-30 mins and stourbridge over that way isnt it

if you can get the tiles off the wall now and soak them overnight the adhesive will come off as it is tubbed. Most decent tillers don't touch the stuff. It has its uses but is overpriced (splashbacks) for the amount you get.

Yup thats about right .

 

[sparkle333]

it was dear but thought would save time and be cheaper on tiler lol. i just ordered it all for delivery with tiles, i have since bought 4 bags of 20 kilos to mix up all flexible adhesive .

i just want a rough guide to probs from pics i cant see myself , or things that are not acceptable, i wasnt away til today the narrow cuts side and top was wrong too

 

[sparkle333]

no way i can get tiles off myself i dont have any tools and got bad back after bad car crash thx to drunk driver so i really have had a long run of bad luck, about time i had some good luck lol
