Hi,

Jezzzzzuz .. that is bad and they have scratched all the metal mosaics as well..

Get them back out and see how they are going to compensate you for that abortion.

Not the worst I've seen but really unacceptable, 3 / 10.

hope you have not paid! Also, Imo, cannot be fixed, as Dave says, they are all scratched!

That's abysmal! I'd speak to the tiler who done it & get him to explain.

I'm guessing the tiler was trying to make the best of a bad situation (poor walls) and the price was set before work started. Irrelevant anyway, customer should be getting much better

Can't be a tiler who's done that?..looks like a chancer.....!

Shocking - Tiles scratched, vertical corners left with no expansion joint, just filled with grout (badly), tiles and underneath wall units not cleaned off, no silicon seal between tiles and worktop, need I go on.

Get them back, ask them to remove them and compensate you for cost of the replacement tiles, labour and materials to get the job done properly by a tiler, not a builder.

i really wish you could see all pics but pc wont allow me to upload them my connection playing up i have them in photobucket but can't post link.

 

[White Room]

That is a serious shocker, above all else the grouting in the corner.....

shocking job im afraid , seek full compenasation from them and i would not let them have a 2nd go unless you can choose the contractor yourself and they can pay him

Is this the same mosaic?

 

[vik987]

Prob used the wrong word there 'tiler' ... As you know Dave, for mosaics all the work is in the prep, i know what prep work can be like by 'some' builders! I'm guessing the square meterage price has been agreed by the guy who has done the tiling and then hes tried to make the best of a bad situation instead of getting the walls plastered properly... And failed badly! I'm just guessing mind! I agree though, all needs ripped out, poor finish!
