ever told a customer you hate the tiles they picked?

Seeing as you're doing my bathroom at the mo, I hope you won't be saying that to me about my tiles!

I know a guy who was meant to be tiling a kitchen splashback while the customer was at work. The tiles were horrible so he took them back to the shop and swapped them! He told the customer the original ones didn't look right and the customer was really pleased with the job!

Ah Ha! Caught!!!

All ways agree with the customer "yes I like them" sometimes makes me feel a bit to faced but that wear's off once I get paid, -nice bit of tiling

Slightly different take on tiles that are not liked by installer , but i did a job about 15 years ago now up on yorkshire moors somewhere and my client bought genuine antique jerusalem random stone from paris ceramics. It probably cost him £ 400 per sq mt plus vat in those days!!
the whole job had to be done whilst his wife was on holiday and i think he put in a smallbone or wilkinson kitchen as well as a surprise for her return.]
I tried to talk to him about the floor but it was too late as he had bought it and had ripped up a great antique yorkstone floor to replace it with.
and what a surprise it was because I was there applying the last seal as she walked through the door a bit earlier than expected on that final day and she went nuts with her husband.
goodness knows what happened after that.
I hope that someone from that area will be able to remind me of the very famous building contractor for that region. it had been his own house.

I think that tile/mosaic combination looks fine - colours go together, and as others say the fixing quality is great. Purely matter of taste if you like/dislike mosaics over a large area, but imho this job looks tasteful & more interesting as it is.

The only feature that I'd change would be that wood. Nothing actually wrong with it, but it just doesn't seem to fit in or go with anything else in the room. Stands out like a bulldog's wotsits & ruins the rest (imho).

But keep the tiles & sanitaryware exactly as they are.:smilewinkgrin:

I can always appreciate a good tiling job no matter what size / colour the tile is but those wavey edge ones i just cant get on with! IM also not a fan of any faddy/modern tiles, i like classic ones, even 6x6 whites look good!
