Poor Tiling Job? Advise please...

So in this reply are they honestly trying to say there is not as big a problem as you suggest?
The way I read it they are basically saying, "You owe us £305, so keep that and use it to repair the job, then everything is fine".
I can't see that mess being made good for that money?

yes basically they think we don't need to start from scratch and can just repair the ones that need to. Which I'm no tiler I'm not sure if this is possible so I am getting a tillers professional opinion report to see what they recommend. But I do think its going to be more than £305, which is where we disagree between me and builders..they have relied this evening to say they want to resolve this and as soon as I have a report they will chat to me. So hopefully it may be done without going any further.

Gotta love those pieced in cuts at the socket

I would be worried about those pieces of metal mosaics going behind the socket!

Sorry Vik, Your builder is 100% correct and you are wrong! These tiles can be fixed, but it would be far easier / cheaper to rip it all out and start again

If it can be done then I'm happy but whatever way they have to take costs on and most of the metal ones are scratched so how would be get round replacing them as they come in sheets ?

Disagree with you Charlie, how are u going to sand down all the addy at the back of the scratched mosaics to get them back flat. You'd be there all week. Plus take out grout round them and not damage the other mosaics.

it proabably can be fixed one tile at a time but why waste all that time.
if the builder starts down that road it shows what a niave person they are. they think they can fix one or two and its 100%
to get more metal one they are going to have to buy all the sheets again anyway

i would get some post its and stick them where every issue is. even use different colours for each type of mistake.
id like to see the pic of that
