Help - not sure if tiling is acceptable or not

[Colour Republic]

In photo 11 he cut the tile nice, but didn't quite get the trim flush. There is'nt much you can salvage here, you will have to start from scratch.

you're a glass half full kinda a guy aren't you! :lol:

Hi Richard and welcome to TF, sorry to say this but "saddlebag ceramics have struck again" this guy is no tiler, the cuts fit where they touch, and the overall job is pathetic. Did this cowboy have a white stick and a Labrador by any chance? I hope you havn't paid him yet, and hope you get it sorted. This kind of work makes my blood boil, there are very good fixers sat at home with no work because of chancers like this.:mad2:

Ouch! I would hate to think what it looks like under the tiles, that is truly shocking. The Tiler no sorry clearly not a tiler! should be photographed, named, shamed and struck off!

Complete nightmare. It's not like paint where you easily rectify the situation. Did you employ him direct or was he a builders sub contractor?

Hi Richard, as everyone on here has stated the work is a disgrace and not at all acceptable. The person you employed to carry out this work definitely wasn't a tiler.
Did you ask to see any of this persons previous work before you he created this abomination. In respect of tiling you should always ask to see someone's previous work beforehand. A bad tiling job isn't something that's easy or cheap to put right.

Hi everyone,

I'd really appreciate it if anyone could feedback on the tiling I've just had done and if it looks acceptable to you or not.

The tiles in question are porcelain 300x600 for the walls with 600x600 for the floor, they have been tiled into a brand new bathroom, so no removal of tiles or anything like that was required - direct onto the plasterboard.

Firstly, I had gone to the trouble of putting together a tiling plan so the tiler could see where I wanted the tiles and pattern etc, this was only partially followed. Not the end of the world but I thought that would be followed or at least I'd be told before they put the tiles on the wall. So not a great start.

The main issue I've got is the inconsistent gaps between the tiles in some places and where some stick out from the wall further than others (lipping I believe you call it)? I've attached a few images to give you an idea of what I'm talking about and would really appreciate any feedback. I don't think this looks like a proper finish but am I being too picky?

Thanks in advance. Richard

Would you call yourself a tiler if you left a job like that?
