On one

The 12m2 of 600x300 wall tiles that I put up yesterday in a bathroom has turned from being the best thing since sliced bread to suddenly overnight into being so unbearable that they had come back off(didn't like the white flecks in the beige,stone lookalike ceramic tiles):eek:
So hence the thread title....not a happy bunny. I checked and checked and double checked everything with her before a tile was laid and yet they still had to come off!
When can I get back to repair the walls and retile?.......''I'll let you know''

well had this one tiled a 48 m2 bathroom in 600x 300 x 8mm carrara spent a couple of days tiling on friday left for the weekend come back on monday to grout well turned up on monday all tiles on the floor over the week end they had taken them off the walls a family effort .spoke to the client he said its not your fault we wanted white tiles and these are gray well if they had waited for the water to hydrate out they would have went back to white .so what do you say .my choice was well if you dont like them why live with them .why make a client thats not blaming you feel like a fool .when you can get paid again to retile and i will give them credit they left the walls as clean i would want .
