Cry for help, another possible bodge job?

[Spud]

To me it looks like the guy ran out of tiles

Has the 'builder' said yes to replacing the window cuts with chrome trim??
& what's his opinion on the finish he's given you?

Did it all come as a shock at the end of the job?? or did you have any opportunity to comment or question the quality during the works?


Shame the prices have been removed, 'cos who know's, it might be one of them jobs where the bloke's done it for half the price of the going rate - if that's the case, then you've got a masterpiece for a bargain price, but if its top whack, then you definitely need to let the Builder know that you're not happy. And I hope you've not paid in full yet??

Thanks for the replies.

I work away during the week and the tradesman had been working on it while I'm away. I have commented 3 times that I am not happy with the finish (due to other works ongoing and issues with other items taking so long to finish) but it falls on deaf ears. No chance to review until it was finished.

The last time I brought it up (Wednesday) the guy said he would get a surveyor in and charge me for the privilege. Which wound me up a little.

As far as they are concerned they are happy with the finish so I just want to know if this is acceptable before I dispute and take it further.

This was supposed to be a "tiler" who fitted these.

The guy had an entire box of tiles spare and I've not paid in full, no.

I'll look into the beige grout, again this wasn't even mentioned as an option.

I'm absolutely shocked at that! Pure cheek! The surveyor would have to be a mate of his to say that's a top notch job

That's Cowboy Builder talk that. How can someone treat their clients like this ?

Can't say what I'm thinking...

I'd be more than happy to have a Tile Association representative to come in and look at the job, and I'd pay for their time too. As then you'll have a document that would stand in court to sue the git with for the cost of the job AND the report.

That said; see if you can come to an arrangement where he fixed the job first.

My guess is he isn't a 'tiler' at all. Sick of seeing peoples work who claim they can tile and can't!!!!!!

 

[prceramics]

just point out what is wrong with it and say you can have full payment when work is up to standard simple no arguments

 

[cam_low]

Show them this thread for a start ?

 

[afright]

No finesse.

another option,,:smilewinkgrin:, tell "tiler", you'll get a surveyor in and charge him for the privilege.
