Please help, I made a screw up...

Different sized tiles as far as I can see.

Edit: I stuck a ruler to my screen and the problem is definitely different sized tiles.

Tb i would seriously think about re doing it again the builders will see it and the architect will too when they have a good look at it its your reputation on the line here its best to put it right now before grouting stabila do a good level:thumbsup:

Ok, the more I look at it the more I think you have followed the door liner, an easy way to check this is to do the following:

Take a level and see were I have maked the dark blue line is level,

I think it will be:smilewinkgrin:

Next see if the grout lines in both the green boxes are the same top to bottom, in the picture it looks if they are smaller at the bottom then at the top, a sort of wedge shape. But pictures can be decieving so i may be wrong. TAKE NOTE: THESE HAVE TO BE THE SAME, if it is 3mm at the top and 2mm at the bottom, don't think 'oh it's only 1mm difference, that will be fine' these are quite long tiles and if you don't get the grout lines the same it can drop by as much as 6mm from one end of the tile to the other.

lastly if both of the above are true then take off the tiles i have marked in yellow and tile again, you may have to take off a few more to the left of the door, but if the tiles are level on the blue line then no tiles below this mark need to come off:thumbsup:

Also, why have you not tiled to the ceiling? are you planning on putting a mosaic border at the top? If so, then you will have more problems if the ceiling is out of level. It would have been better to put a border 1 tile down from the top

I believe a cornice/coving is going on, even so I think I'd have still yaken it to the top:thumbsup:

you're gonna have to read through all the posts mate, already covered that:lol::lol:
 
He cut that tile on purpose to fit it in, he knows it smaller becuase he did it:lol:

if you read his post he explains why
 
Sorry mate the out of level is least of your problems the slither cuts are hellish and as for the shower it is pants. Why did you not put the mosaic diagonal it looks like a diyer gone wrong but if your customer is happy with that I would not worry about it being out of level as they will think it is you being creative.:thumbsdown:

Be a man take it on the chin rip it up and start again learn from your mistakes.
 
If you lost the level where I mentioned earlier, you would only have to remove 8 tiles to get it level again

Colour republic, heya...

8 tiles? How do u figure that one? My view is that all the lines vertically and horizontally around the room need to match up. Removing the right side wall as the guys suggest to the right of the mosaic strip and starting that point again to meet up nicely over the door will throw the back wall's grout lines out of whack by that 15mm. If not that wall then another wall somewhere else. I am struggling very hard to see how you guys think I can fix this in a simple way. I am trying though, it's just not making sense most of what's been said here. If you think 8 tiles then would it be a massive imposition on my part to ask you to copy one of the pics I've added as part of this post which best highlights the tiles ur thinking of and editing it with mspaint to mark the tiles you think I should change? If not then no worries, I'd appreciate any effort.

STRESSED !!!!
