Is this good or bad tiling

Thank you...that bathroom looks so beautifully installed! So neat and what we had hoped to get. Would you say our shower tray looks very high?

Looking at the pictures I would say it’s just been raised to meet the top of the skirting, also existing waste height might be a factor especially in older properties with external soil stacks.
But I am not defending the fitter, it is a badly finished bathroom and it probably could have been lowered fairly easily even if it involved a small extra cost.

I agree it’s not the neatest job and set out could have been better but it is fairly easily salvageable.
You need highlight the issues with your installers.

How would the poorly installed trims be salvaged?

I took a picture whilst he was laying the tiles....doesn’t seem to be any screed layed. Would you agree?

Well the trims themselves can’t be, but the job as a whole could be.

He hasn’t used a self levelling compound over the cables, this isn’t required as standard but I find to be a better option.

I think I am going to get them to put cornice tiles instead of the trims. They have now agreed to lift the floor, lay screed, new UFH and re tile. Still to fight about the shaved vanity!

Get them to patch the plywood also

I think it’s a definite requirement for our old/uneven floor.

Aargh! Hadn’t noticed that.

We have now given them until tmw until we engage solicitors. Has anyone had a successful outcome in a similar situation? Any thoughts/advise appreciated. Thanks.
