Bodged Or Not? aqua-dec Shower Former Drain Issue

Good result on the floor, be interesting to see how the tiler puts those cuts in on the mosaics, more pics required!

Just grout it .. Pmsl. 🙂

I'd assume that tiles on opposite walls will make up the gap Lee....could be wrong though.

 

[Dan]

That'd make sense.

Sorry for the silence! Yes they mostly will be covered by the tiles on the other wall. Not all though! Some tricksy cutting required! I'll post some more photos later when I'm home.

 

[Julia]

Sorry repeat!

Julia good on you for standing your ground and achieving what you are paying for!
I get continually fed up seeing trades get away with poor work and errors!
As far as paying for the additional work stand your ground again it was an error, it was wrong and why should you pay!

The little row of tiles here looks quite cute and seemed to take forever, cutting the mosaic is not easy - other photo shows how they should be covered by the travertine for the other walls. Not all of them will though so I shall have to make sure he fills the holes and doesn't just grout it! There is an awful lot of cutting and faffing about still to do. I am sure the tiler just loves us - I will be watching him like a hawk tomorrow......
We may have a toilet back in the next few days - one can but dream. After that we have commissioned the plumber to make a custom exposed heat coloured copper curvey shower (in the shape of the river Thames) which if it works will be a total triumph. It's not strictly tiles of course but I might have to share the finished photo.
Thanks all for your help!
(Must also add my hand does not look that weird with strange white flappy bit in real life.. )

Cor, this is proper "edge-of-your-seat" reading, thanks its a great read.
Loving the look of that floor now, fingers crossed you are nearly there.
After having a month of flushing our only toilet with a bucket during my very slow bathroom remodel, when you can just press a button to flush its a very big thing!

Tile news
I don't think he's done a bad job at all round the window reveals considering none of it was square and there is not a piece of beading in sight! (or out of sight)
These mosaics are pretty time consuming to cut but the interlocked edging is really brilliant!
To the right hand side just under the window the tiles didn't exactly meet up (it really isn't square) but I am sure once grouted and the shelf is back in your will hardly notice it at all.
I think if I asked him to rip them out and start again he would never speak to me again!
