Adhesive come off with grinder.not the sweetest job ever but still better than buying new tiles.

May I ask what did you make to choose him/them?
Many clientry try to look for budget workers then calling later to fix their issues.everybody learn from their own experiences. Most problems turns out just a year later when tiles come off by hand only.you were lucky to notice early on

Not sure about others but for a while now I mix proflex primer in the ashesive on all jobs.good luck to remove them 😉

Hi Joseph, the chap in question was recommended to me from another person I know who is also in the trade, I have since had a (discussion) with him and let him know the situation. He won't be getting any more recommendations from him. This guy could have got a lot of work as we where looking for someone to replace our normal guy who unfortunately has had to give up tiling at a very early age due to an illness. Money was not an issue, ie trying to get a job done on the cheap. I believe in a fair days money for a fair days work. Also you have to start somewhere, and as a busy company I have not got the time to go to look at previous work he had done, I did however look at some of his so called previous jobs on his web site portfolio. Obviously that did not prove correct which I've learnt the hard way. Well! That's enough of that. I hope people out there have gained some good out of this thread, and anyone can get caught out, as previously mentioned I have been plumbing for 35 years and don't class myself as a laymen.

It's amazing his tools got into that state as it means he must have been working for some time and that means there are many poor souls out there with tiles dotted on their walls but with no idea shame on the man

Yep!! His trowel which I assume at one time would have been a five mil notch, was down to nil mm, he may as well have just put it on with brickys trowel, but a bricky would have covered the complete tile rather than the middle with none on the edges.! His mixer was fairly new so that did not see many other jobs. His radio was spotless though!
