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 !!!!

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!

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?

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

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.

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 !

Has she got a direct line to you Sir or are you getting your cocoa there 3 times every week?

 

[White Room]

They usually say third time lucky:yikes:

Well I'm just going to laugh. Hahaha haha. I had countless inboxes to her telling her to go see this guy's work. Bloody doughnut. Serves her right. Ffs how frustrating. Am I being harsh. Am I funk.

Hi i'm Toby, used to post on here years ago in my darker days as a newbie 'course trained tiler' and decided to come back on and see whats happened to all the old names.... good to see there are loads of you still on here, some may even remember me.

Anyway Holy S!!!, i just spent the last half hour (whilst waiting for my primer to dry!!) reading the original thread and was really enjoying the debate between busy tilers and not busy tilers and time served tilers vs course trained tilers that i decided to make a brew, sod the tiling off for an hour or so and settle down to a good read about how great her new pro tiler was. Maybe i'm being a bit harsh but why the hell did she not check this guy out properly rather than relying on her 'friends ex' who just so happened to be available the next week and was happy to do it at mates rates before she went ahead with him?

I have had quiet periods myself before and don't think being quiet means you are no good at tiling by any stretch, but given the circumstances of her specific situation i thought she would have questioned this guy on every single aspect of his business including why he was available so quickly as well as going round to previous customers houses to view his work..... How very frustrating people can be, after all the advice from you lot on here and she still didn't listen... Unbelievable lol

I do have sympathy for her but if i'm honest it aint very much.

What a shame.
