A whole house was basically dot and dabbed in this bathroom they couldn't be bothered to strip the tiles off around the bath so they built the rest of the walls out with 6x6 tiles dot and dabbed then dot and dabbed the main tiles on the 6x6 they did this to the floors as well kitchen walls/floors down stairs loo main bathroom and ensuite I know who done it can't wait to see them they shouldn't be tiling ripping people off I was struggling for work around Xmas I could of done their house for them they should of gone with me well ****ed off

Was it tubbed gear he used....

 

[mike1979]

Yes everything is falling off he did the same on the kitchen floor it don't matter what sticky he used you don't tile this way

 

[White Room]

I agree but tubbed on tile on tile is over stretching it a tad to far....

 

[mike1979]

Yes I'm doing it a bit at a time I've done the bathroom floor today he dot and dabbed the floor on 3 mm ply wood so I ripped the lot up and put hardie down and tiled that

Need to start getting jobs like this onto main page where potential customers can see them & see why real Tilers care about our trade.
That is truly shocking!!

 

[mike1979]

Ye what made me mad is that I priced this up really I should walk away but I have a heart and a good right hand hope I don't see him around

[Time's Ran Out]

i did the small floor on a day rate price to show them how it's done properly the wife reckons I should of washed my hands of it as I'm the only local tiler in the town and I have a 100% record and a good name and they have seen my work and instead went for a bunch of monkeys from
ebbwvale I've seen some rubbish they haven't used any trim just butted the tiles on the corners as well i think we need to set up a rogue section for customers to look at so they know what to look out for during a job I'd invite potential customers to log on and take a look so they have an idea of how it should and shouldn't be done
