Is there any easy way to fix these faults?

I agree, I definitely don't want people calling him a cowboy - he did come recommended by some friends and the pictures we saw of his other work looked good, and he can't be bad if he does it for a living (and for three weeks in australia, obviously a good one!). I think on this occasion he's fallen short of his usual standard, probably because he was rushing, and unfortunately it was our job that suffered. As I said, it's nothing major, the room still looks good. It's just lots and lots of niggly little things that add up, especially considering the price we paid him. It's a shame really, as we had quite a few jobs lined up for him but I'll be finding someone else for those. Someone who doesn't have a holiday booked! :smilewinkgrin:
 
theres a few probs there but from what i can see they can be fixed best bet is to give the tiler a chance to rectify his mistakes when he returns remember we are all human and mistakes happen sometimes

let us know how things end up
 
Yes the use of the term cowboy is uncalled for IMO..

These are just a few small rushed bits as far as i can tell from the pics.... trying to hang this tiler is wrong.. so hold back on the offensive remarks please.

Aimee72.. like i said earlier please do let us know how it pans out ..
 
Jay, I think you've hit the nail on the head. I can't stand people who shout first and ask questions later, people's reputations can be ruined because of one bad job and I don't want that, he's a nice guy (that's why I've been deliberately vague about him and not put any full-room shots on, incase anyone recognises the room and word gets around). That's why I'm so glad I asked, because no job is ever going to be 100%, I just wasn't sure how much is acceptable and where to draw the line getting someone back in. I'm sure there are people who would be straight on the phone demanding a regrout because of one air bubble behind a radiator, but I like to think I'm not one of them!
 
And we as Tilers appreciate you have thought about your tiler as well as the job in hand..

respect to you lady..:🙂🙂🙂🙂
 
Wonky grout lines or not, it's still a million times better than the pink suite and orange swirly carpet we used to have :yikes: :smilewinkgrin:
 
Orange and pink together..
