Professional Tiler - 20+ yrs experience

[Grace'sDad]

This is the result of 20-odd years professional tiling....

shocking isn't it? I patched it up with 2 spare tiles so they can wait a couple of months before I can get back to rip the lot out and do it properly.
It was done 11 months ago.

Similar to what i've been to look at today, 15mm gap from shower tray edge to wall, bridged over with Silicon, floor tiles lifting, one tile stuck on wall with no nails, shower tray not fastened down, and more grout on surface of the tile that in the joints on the walls and floor, proper mess, :whatchutalkingabout

I can't name them - the guy worked for a firm in Manchester who did a big re-fit of a kitchen and bathrooms in Preston.

The customer's attitude is that they won't pursue the firm because it's nearly a year ago!!!

yep through the grout, just standing on the tile dripping wet...after the tiles had de-bonded cracking the grout

Never use tub mastic on a floor or in a wet location.
Mold and grief are the only results.
