Hi there,
We are into week 3 of a complete bathroom refit. We are using a local plumber and up to now have been impressed with his plumbing work. This week the tiling has begun and I am really disappointed. I know it is not yet finished so I do not know if once it is finished something will change and I have not given him chance?

I have come home today and a tile has not been cut straight at all so I have contacted the plumber and told him I want this sorting tmw. He has agreed.

However, now the more I look at the tiling I am thinking I need to mention the other areas. I would appreciate your advice / opinion before I go to though ...

He said that in places our walls are not straight and so he has built up the wall where he can but still the tiles stick out in places.

He also said that our choice of tile hasn't helped (too big, honeycomb pattern).

I was accepting of all of this at the beginning but now as the job progresses I am becoming concerned.

I will post photos and look forward to hearing your opinion on the work. If I am being harsh and it is my choice of tile, I will accept responsibility but if it is poor Labour then I feel I much say something.

Some of us care about the job we do.

We are not all the same...
 
Sorry ..but unfortunately a very poor unprofessional attempt..and should be ripped out and redone to your expectations and what you are paying good money for !
In my experience...Plumbers should stick to plumbing and leave "Finishing" to those who know how...
Stand your ground with that conversation ..
100% agree
