Help dealing with a tiler

[Flintstone]

Timeless John got it spot on, give him the chance to come and make it better, if he won't do that, pay the man but negotiate a reduction on wages to pay for it to be put right

Those cuts are very easily fixed without removing them looking at the photos, take a straight edge and mark a straight line to the shallowist point then use a polisher to polish back to your pencil line it won't take more than an hour

Sometimes you need to just take it on the chin and move on. I once paid a guy twice to sort out his own work and he still cooked it up and I had to sort it. The main reason I stopped doing shopfitting work is because I couldn't find enough decent reliable guys

This sort of thing is what worries me. I do kitchens and bathrooms and want to find a good tiler to help with workload, but just don't think I'll find anyone good nearby without trying a few bad ones first! Any good tilers from Nottingham need some work?!

Unfortunately any good tilers will be booked up solid with their own work🙁

 

[magga]

Yep, as I expected!

It's a lesson learnt that's for sure! As the jobs 190m2 of floor and was meant to be 35m2 on walls but this changed to 67m2 on walls with feature walls too it completely through my schedule out so had to try find help, better to do it myself in the future I guess!

Works gone absolutely mental the last 2 months and I was thinking about taking on a labourer but to also learn the trade but to learn how I expect things done! That way I should have a reliable and decent tiler (not being big headed lol).

Thanks again for the opinions, I'm going to talk to the customers and project manager tomorrow to see if they will let him come back to repair the work (should he agree too) and then go from there, his gap from the tiles to the ceiling are as big as 15mm in places which is also quite an eye sore.

15mm, Jesus!

I'd be thinking damage limitation, don't bring him back, you've got a valid reason with the customer making it clear they won't have him. Do what Gary says and polish it back.
I'd be afraid of further antagonising the client by going against their requests and bringing a numpty back.
In the long run you'll be doing the 'tiler' a favour anyway because he will learn the hard way to up his game!
