Hi all,

I've got someone doing my bathroom and yesterday they finished tiling. I've been going through the result and I'm not impressed with the quality.

Can you have a look and tell me if I'm too picky?

My issues:
- Some of the tiles are chipped (average sized finger for scale)
- In the far areas (far corner and top edge) they're not cut off straight.
- You can see one that's glued with a lot of adhesive and that changed the line on the wall.
- In a corner they don't match the height.

I've seen a lot of comments around how the grout will fix things. Would that apply to me? Would these issues be less visible through grouting? We are looking at a light grout (silver/ light grey).

Thanks,
George

I don't think @Deane believes it was done by a 'tiler'.
In fact I wrote "tiler".
With the quotation marks that it means?
Fake tiler.
But the speech is another, placing 10 messages and crushing "disagreement".
Means, or you do not understand what I wrote,
Or, he has a big finger too .... ;)
No matter, for me it is the same ..
