I had some tiling done in my bathroom a few weeks ago. There is a section below my shower that i am not entirely happy about, and i've posted the pictures below to see if my concerms are justified.
There are 2 sections - 17 inches apart - that vary in quality of workmanship.
first part -

doesn't look too bad, does it? I'm happy with this bit.
second part -

Pretty shabby? Compared to the top image?
I'm trying to ignore it, but it jumps out at me every time I walk in the room.
can anyone confirm my fears this this will need done again?

What's that, Silicon? Why has he used Silicon there? Sloppy.
It isn't silicon, it's grout. Lots of grout.
As mentioned, he seems to have forgotten to compensate for a bit of wood that was to be added later in the construction of the shower base. Why, when he noticed this mess, he never did anything about it, I'll never know.
As he's a friend/work colleague, i'm now in the awkwrd situation of having to tell him I want it rectified. He's done the rest of the bathroom reasonably well, but this bit is just bugging the hell out of me.
