Hi all new to the site

I've just had my bathroom tiled and I queried the quality of the tiling especially where the builder has cut straight lines in the tiles. The edges look very very rough to me and I can't help but think they should be a lot neater.

I've taken one close up picture of the tiling - the rough edges run the whole way down where he had cut the tiles.

He said that it is impossible to get a smooth line. I have paid him a good amount of money for a professional finish and he has said all along that the finish will be as good as could be expected.

They are polished porcelain tiles from tile giant - the Jakarta range. They are 600 x 300mm and 10mm thick.


Thanks
Morgan

I imagine that you can guess what Im going to say. No even nearly good enough, you do not pay some1 do do a DIY job. May I ask why you had a builder do it and not a tiler?

Can somebody please tell me what it is with builders, I wouldnt take on a job building a house because Im a tiler :mad2:


Also could you give a bit more detail about the tiling please. Walls and floor? What was tiled onto? Do you know what materials were used? And also more pics would be a big help.
