Hi we excitedly choose some porcelain floor tiles for our kitchen and bathroom, but think the tradesman did a poor job of laying. Is there any way of rescuing without starting all over again? It's like walking on a rope bridge the floor is so uneven. So disappointed and feel very hard done by. Is this saveable at all?
Interested in what anyone thinks, maybe some people think it's not too bad?!

I’am sure price isn’t the issue!
Every job should be undertaken to the highest possible standard no matter how many pennies and this is clearly not the case.
It would seem that yet again the OP has not done their homework on this chancer and accepted that a good job would be done without references etc.
Not the best view of the overall floor but enough to speculate your concerns.

Looks rough to me. Tiles might be bowed, but no excuse for very poor grouting. Without seeing the whole floor It’s difficult to say weather, or not it can be rescued.
If you end up replacing the lot, or removing the grout. Please replace with a light , or medium grey. As you won’t ever be able to keep ivory, or whatever that Color is clean.

How much did they charge you for that lot?

I agree with @hmtiling. All up and get a professional in, do some research into whom you employ, which I’m sure we will be happy to help you with.

Hi Waluigi, do you have any tips as to whom we employ? Had a couple of quotes but they seem very, very expensive (and before anyone comments, I'm not doing this on the cheap, I'm willing to pay fairly
Thanks!
