[Houston]

and grouted in around the frame

I am always amazed with what some clients let the "builder" get away with... if anyone working with or for me did a cut like that, they would be up the road ....The difference between a pro tiler and a "builder"

yep. next time...!

i'd be more annoyed about the bodged up slither by the door frame...sorry to say but it's a typical builders tiling...

He can get hold of a fein/ multi tool the rectify his mistake but couldn't get it before he started to cut out the door frame to give a better finish!!

I agree with some other comments, shocking tiling, grout joints are inconsistent, that slither looks awful. Heart or not if this guy is getting paid for this quality of work he should be ashamed and you should tell him so. He will just keep on doing it otherwise....

The whole thing looks dreadful if you ask me !

Ok, just skimmed through this thread but is there not quite a simple fix to this??

 

[chris.hughes23]

OK, but short of redoing the whole floor, can the edge be trimmed straight, going right up to the door frame?

 

[Andy Allen]

to be honest if your happy with that finish then I would leave it as it is, cant see how he's going to cut up to the door frame without damaging it, only way to do it right is to rip up the tiles and replace them, but that could wreck the ufh....having said that, it's his problem not yours, he should have done it right in the first place or left it well alone..

 

[chris.hughes23]

Well no, I'm not happy with at finish. If it can be made straight, I'd live with that.

 

[Andy Allen]

Like I said, can't see it being done without replacing the tiles.......

 

[Ken Bruty]

Yep, as Andy said, replace the tiles, I would be concerned about him having a go at the edge of those tiles, he's likely to chip them and make it worse, replacement really is the only option, if he's careful he should be able to knock those gently out without damaging the ufh, because looking at that, he probably hasn't fixed them properly anyways. If and when he does it, tell him NOT to grout in the edges, it is an expansion joint and should have silicon or mastic in there to allow movement, after a few months grout will crack out and look even worse than it already does, and if he actually bothers to undercut the doorstops he might be able to cut that sliver wider and therefore not snap it so that the cut tile is all one piece. You can probably tell this sort of thing really winds me up.

Depending on the condition of the rest of the install, I would get someone in to cut out from the broken slither across to the same point on the otherside and fit a piece of timber in as a threshold.

Oh and learn from it

Tilers tile!

I think for the effort it would take, I'd live with the finish you've got, with the threshold bar as in picture 2. I would though, let the builder sweat a bit, certainly let him know that he shouldn't be tiling. And for you next time, choose your tradesmen more wisely.

A simple piece of hardwood rebated would cover that mess up. job done....simples...
