Latest report on Sparkles bathroom

[Gazzer]

For those that remember a woman going by the name of Sparkle....http://www.tilersforums.com/tiling-forum/72147-any-advice-re-bad-tiling-job.html

The outcome that she was reccomended a "good" tiler to sort this out..... The reality is what you see below. As understand it , it involved a full retile !!!!

 

[Stef]

Oh dear!!!

& that was the manager of a tile shop recommending a "Tiler"..
Think at the back of our mind we kind of knew what the outcome would be.

 

[Qwerty]

Neale, so is this after the last mess was supposedly sorted out?

 

[padtheplumber]

Surely that cant be AFTER the 2nd attempt???

Yup so it seems

 

[Gazzer]

Yup

 

[Gazzer]

Seems that the tiler has been tiling for 13 years......unlucky for some. He doesnt accept critism either.

 

[lizzardtong]

Its better than it was but it still bad. Love PIC 11 and that straight silicone line. She is probably over the moon with that.

Blind leading the blind. I don't know how some 'tradespeople' can stand back and think to themselves, are yes, a job done well?? I'll carry on being slow and doing a nice job!

 

[Qwerty]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but did we not tell her countless times to get references or a recommendation!!! Makes me mad.

 

[Colour Republic]

How do you spend 13 years doing something and still be so crap at it?

Even when she got the recommendation I seem to remember many still warned her to check him out. Shame as she seemed like a nice lady and I felt sorry for her but she should have listened.

Isn't this the old thread where a massive row ensued after someone said be careful if he can start straight away? Cos there may be a reason he's not busy!

 

[Colour Republic]

I think it might be mate :lol:

Yep!

 

[Andy Allen]

Perhaps she should of waited 3 months for a different tiler...lol

Yes 3fall it was me who advised caution at the fact this new tiler could fit the job in so quickly and I received a fair we bit of abuse about it. What a shame for this girl though! How has this happened? Is she happy with it?

I think it might of been me that said that.

 

[AliGage]

Or it could have been Charlie

 

[Andy Allen]

I blame both of you..lol

 

[Stef]

Ash offered to go & tile for her..
He would have made a far better job of it than what she's got..

Seems he offered but never followed it up......maybe the wisest move he has done

 

[Time's Ran Out]

There are times when you just know you are wasting your time giving advice!
Don't think I added to that thread but it certainly gives a bad name to out trade when this standard of work is done.

 

[John Benton]

Wasn't it a friend of tile shop manager or something if I recall. You can give out advice until you're blue in the face, but if people don't listen then I have zero sympathy.

I thought that the pics were from the first install, especially as she mentioned about the broken tile in front of the bath, unless the floor hasn't been re-done!!

Oh well

Yes and the floor has been retiled ! Tile broke right away and a tile that had fixed to the headof teh window reveal for 3 days held up by a piece of wood fell off and chipped the bath !
