Sorry Dan but I have to agree with the OP, your post seems rather harsh. Clearly there is a big difference in the colour of the tiles, whether this was as noticeable when fitting we'll never know. What is needed is a solution to the problem and it appears from previous posts that Lithofin Bob is helping behind the scenes so hopefully there will be an acceptable outcome for all parties.

Just seems to be finding any reason to pass on paying the tiler to change the tiles.

You shouldn't have gone with this tiler then maybe. Which brings it down to you being the employer choosing the wrong tiler.

If you wanted even colouring, should have bought ceramics or porcelain IMO.

Was silly at the start imo. Wanting natural tiles all inkeeping.

Personally I'd have pulled a few of the darker ones off the sheet and mixed them with some light ones I pull off another, if the sheets weren't so obvious, it would look brilliant IMO.

Fired earth aren't to blame IMO.
And the tiler certainly isn't.

Just pay the guy, move on, get some quotes from your cheaper tilers you know that are just as skilled, and go for the one you think is best.

I still owe the tiler a third of the money. He feels he is being criticised because of Fired Earth's lack of help with this, and that he should be paid all of his money. I asked him to come back and improve the floor. He has offered to cut out the darker sheets and put the unused sheets in but offers no guarantees it would be better

This is where I got the wriggling out of paying the tiler. Maybe I'm wrong.

I've posted a thread in the arms for those with access.
