It was weird why he made a big play on the fact that he needed to charge extra for wet cutting only to complete the job without using it. In truth I didn't care how he cuts the tiles provided we got a good finish.


It was also him that said he needed the corners to be cut into to get a good finish. He also upped the price because it would take ages to grout the corners because of the type of tile.


The thing that pissed me off more than anything was I called him today to explain I had some concerns with the finish and could he meet me at home after work to take a look at it together and try and sort something out. I was in fact very calm about it.


He said he didn't need to and after I offered to send some picture I got the text above.


I do agree with you stevieboy, unfortunately he said about mitring and then done a poor job on the butt joints.


I think you right about taking down and starting again. Can anyone recommend someone in the Hampshire area that can supply a quote to do the job properly?


Thanks again for all the advice

I'm sure someone on here will be local to you. I hope you get it sorted out. There are too many jobs appearing like this nowadays.

Damn that's a shame. I think the fact he tried to grout them (jesus, that must've been a right PITA!) shows he doesn't know how to work with them properly.
I'd be very surprised if you ever hear from him again.......
Only chance you might have of a relatively cheap fix is a small section of plastic beading down the internal corners to hide the mess, but not sure that would be that great either?

What a disappointing response from the 'tiler'. I find it amazing that people can be so flippant when it comes to rectifying poor workmanship! And as for the comment about having to have the tiles sent away to be mitred, that's just comical, a basic wet cutter would be able to mitre that tile without any issues whatsoever.
