Is this good or bad tiling

Looks pretty poor to me maybe been rushed.?

Should the floor have been levelled before putting the underfloor heating and tiles on?one of the feet of the vanity until doesn’t sit on the floor and the reason given was the floor wasn’tflat. He sanded one side of the new vanity so one side touches the floor but the other still doesn’t.

He was running a few dats behind the schedule he’d set. Didn’t make any difference to us how long the job took...I told him that too. It was far more important to me that things were done properly....no matter how long it took.

If the floor needed leveling he should have done it before he tiled it, if he's sanded the feet of the vanity unit he must protect the raw edge or everytime you mop the floor it will swell the chipboard.

Can tiles be lifted (and underfloor heating) or would we be mad to go down that route now?

If they haven't leveled over the ufh then lifting the tiles would be a no go without damaging the ufh. They should foot the bill for that

Before tiling into anything there are 4 boxes that need ticking for the substrate..
1. Surface should be dry
2. Surface should be clean
3. Surface needs to be structurally sound
4. Surface needs to be flat
If any one of these is not ticked off then no tiling should be done.. and no manufacturer will guarantee their products if they Aren’t

your tiler should have ensured the floor was flat, dry, sound and clean before he started..

He should be putting this right out of his own pocket

I think it’s a 1 man job!
He’s no Tiler and possibly no bathroom fitter if he’s left it in that state.
I’d be making sure the bathroom company put everything right before the next room is bodged!
Sanding the base of a brand new unit to make it sit on the uneven tiled floor is the no 1 bodge so far . Last time I came across a similar case the ‘bathroom fitter’ cut chunks out of the backs of 2no £2000.00 base units to fit his pipe work - and I’am being polite!

It’s scary that these guys are out there and make a living with work like this..
The bathroom/finance companies don’t care and go with whomever is cheapest or will work for peanuts..
you can get away with cutting slight corners with plumbing or joinery when it’s not seen but tiling should be done by a vetted professional and I would always advise paying more once you’re satisfied of their qualifications and standards..
This guy is a chancer who will go from job to job and every now and then someone will pull him up.. and he will just move on

crying shame

Thanks for all the advise. It has genuinely helped so much. We are going to try and insist the shop lift the floor, level it, re do UFH and tile. We will then just try and sort the other bits ourselves....would a tiler be able to remove and redo the grout/Silicon in the shower?

Could anyone also explain why they have put the shower tray so high....it seems quite dated to me. I thought the more modern ones are quite low to the ground? I’ve attached pics to show the height...

Normally with shower trays installed with the riser kits (plastic legs) and standard 90mm wastes, top of tray will be around 130mm to the top but to get this the floor would need to be level.
When tiling a bathroom floor I tend to install trays to existing floor then build up the rest of the floor around the tray as this reduces the overall height by a further 20mm +.
