Looking for Opinions

[One Day]

It is a poor job though. I think the boards in the shower area are aquapanel actually, not plasterboard. Although as everyone who knows me knows my opinion - it makes not the slightest bit of difference, because IT'S NOT WATERPROOF!

We all have to start somewhere, but this 'tiler' is way out of their depth.
An old foreman of mine had a saying.....''a little knowledge is dangerous''...seems applicable

I have seen a lot of instances of people tanking a wet room, and only taping the vertical joint and floor to wall joint, not the rest of the area. I'm sure that is what they have done

Your absolutely right Imp.. But just the back wall.. Rest is standard 12.5 P board..

I love how he's managed to achieve those slither cuts. They're going to look amazing......

Just an update on this thread....Thanks for all you replies so far..
Having just spoken with said Lady .. She was compelled ( against my advice) to let the Tiler carry on as he assured her all will be ok(like hell it will)..
Well anyway it gets worse.... After he had grouted the floor.. She noticed a wet patch on her ceiling below!!...( They say the proof is in the pudding)..
She has now insisted on the Tiler and Plumber who wanted to second fix! (Wickes subbies) to Stop and not return until she has had a survey done and also she has involved legal...
A few pictures she has sent me..
More to follow...

Dear god. What the hell have I just looked at.....

Whoa......poor lady,as if she needs all this crap!

Dear god. What the hell have I just looked at.....

I know .. Totally unacceptable.. Wickes ( who are part of the Travis Perkins Empire) should absolutely stand up and get this sorted for her..

Disgusting, and looking back at the first set up photos, all dot and dabbed by the looks of it. I hope she can get the resolution here that she deserves and hope she doesn't end up out of pocket, do they pay up front ?

I hope they do... I may get some gainful employment after all.....

 

[Tilerdurden]

What kind of vetting process do they have?

I'm guessing he may have turned up with a portfolio of work... Not necessarily his and boom walked into jobs providing "quality" tradesmanship to unsuspecting clients. Total sham. And what a shame for the poor girl. Bathrooms don't come cheap either.

Thats shocking!! This tradie needs to be named and shamed.....
