im not sure if price is a factor here to be honest action,but because a shop or a council recommends someone unfortunately it doesnt mean they are any good imo

im not sure what else i can advise to help you find your tiler,however there are many good tilers out there who would have no troubles at all with your project ,

i would tile floor first if there was underfloor heating mat down. then cover it, i would like to see pics of the last guys attempt so we can judge for ourselves. best way to find tiler is word of mouth from a friend, then if you can go and have look,.have none of your neighbours had work done you could knock on there door and enquire.
when you finally get someone i think you be onsite when the work is going on

The floor should be tiled first irrespective if UFH is fitted or not.
A pro tiler will only on a very rare occasion damage a floor tile when tiling the walls.

I cant believe you are having this trouble again with another tiler.
Even if they say they have 25 years experience then it counts for nothing if they have never tiled right in the 1st place.

I had a guy with 25year experience advising my friend that you PVA tiles before tiling on top of tiles!! :mad2:

I hope you get this situation sorted eventually.

Its better than the last attempt but its still not good enough im afraid.

these are porcelanosa for gods sake, they are some of the best tiles you can buy, there is absolutely no excuse for lipping on these tiles.

This is what gives our trade a bad name.

floors poor......in regards to your walls is the wall with the towel rail hanging getting done? why did the tiler not ask for it to be removed? if its getting tiled of course im only assuming

 

[kilty55]

i also cant get my head round why he has started the wall tiling there? maybe its just me

 

[kilty55]

anyway it doesnt matter now,,,floors poor as said are you going to get another tiler in action?

 

[kilty55]

have you considered googling tilers in your area and having a look at website feedbacks etc ?
