Important Changes to Tiling Standards

[Dumbo]

Just to clarify this is the join that each wall meets?

Yes it is

Think theyre feeding you some real BS tbh.. That's not been set out, they've just trusted to luck, a different size spacer, either changing from 2 to 3mm or vice versa could have made all the difference with your ceiling cut..

Depending on how the room sets out determins whether you have full tiles on the bath or not. You usually dont because baths are rarely set level lol. Nobody bothered setting out that room and theyve been found out. Theyre talking bollards

Thank you Andy that is one thing I didn’t think of.

Am I the only one who thinks the ceiling should be level? Why spend all that money and have a poor finish?

Proper setting out and white caulk would have been fine imo

I did have the ceiling walls skimmed and wasn’t aware that it wasn’t level until that was another excuse given by the installer. I did ask why he didn’t tell me at time of skimming he said he didn’t know. If I had known I would have rectified that. Ignorance on my part.

The ceiling is out by 20mm...... It will always show on 200x100 tiles

I understand there would have been a 20mm graduation, however if the tile was larger it would not have been so noticeable. Instead you have sliver cuts?
