New bathroom install, questionable tiling, advice needed!

[Robbb]

Hi all,

After saving and saving and finally getting our new bathroom installed were not too happy with the finish of the tiling. I’ve signed up here to get some advice.

Is this a poor finish? Looks bad to me and I’d expect better. Am I have expecting too much?

I’d estimate 10 tiles have cuts similar to these (although these are the worst).

Would this be easy to resolve? My fitter subbed the work out to a tiler, so am in contact with him directly but waiting for him to reply.

Cheers
Rob

I’ve been onto the fitter who has been really helpful, he’s going to replace everything that we are not happy with and delay his upcoming jobs to get it all sorted.

Thanks for everyone’s help here.

Yes you need to get your fitter to liaise with the ‘tiler’ - he subcontracted so he’s responsible for the overall job.
Good luck and let’s hope the fitter is a decent tradesman.

There you go!

Hi all. Me again. Now I’ve had a chance to do a further inspection I wondered if I’m being too picky on the rest of the job. What do you guys think of the rest of it? There’s a few close ups here of walls and floor.

Problem is I have paid him around 80% of the money already. I’m not really satisfied. He’s coming to look at the stuff I originally posted but haven’t mentioned all of this to him yet.

It’s poor!
I’d get him to repay you all the money.
20% left won’t even pay for it all to be stripped out.

And the cost of the tiles are my loss? I paid for the tiles myself and fitter direct for the install.

It’s shame and we see a lot of this poor workmanship on here, but at the end of the day you chose this fitter!
Did you not do your homework on him before you placed the contract.
You know from the photos what your not happy with so make a list and confront him.
Good luck!

He might (possibly) have paid him £15k in which case I'll happily rip out and redo for the twenty percent!

Tiler rushing to get to another bodge job or doesnt have the skill in the first place. I bet he boasts about how fast he can tile a bathroom.

Bathroom fitter who contracted to someone who wasn't qualified - that's bad for this customer.
