very bad work has been done on this bathroom. cowboy tiler mate.

 

[jay]

just have a close look at the tiles its no excuse he should of refused to lay them (to check tiles for bow you cant do it with off cuts ) but yes this is what happens if you dont stand your ground as a pro

 

[demi34]

bad work bad tiler

 

[jay]

bad work bad tiler

thats your opinion

 

[jay]

things to consider

were the walls flat

were the tiles flat (dont think so)

did the tiler mention that the tiles were bad (dont know)

was the tiler under pressure to get it completed on time (dont know)

was the tiler needing work cause he hasn't worked for a while (dont know)

all things to consider that haven't been answered (still no excuse but if you need to work to feed family ) personally i would of rejected tiles but different circumstances

all things to think about but we dont know the answers to

 

[demi34]

you cannot feed family with this type of work mate. Bad tilers better out of work:mad2:

just seen this. not saying the tiler was all good but take alook at the firstbhtree pictures. tiles eem flush for 75% of length and then kick out. if tile bowed as can happen cannot blame him for that . fourth shot showing v joint
could be tile being out of square but that would have to be way out based on depth.

I don't think it is running flush for 3/4. I think the tile is set back (look at the grout line closely) It's the downlighters highlighting only one side and creating a shadow which makes the otherside seem flush.

it's shocking :mad2:

 

[radim]

If he had used a Mitre Wizz then none of this fiasco would have happened...

 

[Spud]

I went to look at this job to give the guy a price to put it right, unfortunately I got busy and couldnt fit him in,He was a nice guy but had some bad luck with tilers in the past hope he got it sorted

 

[Tony73]

on any thread i go i see that MITRE WIZZ :mad2:
. it's not helping MIKE, espesialy knowing that your son broke leg in three places(lots of painkillers for the night, operation tomm.)

 

[Olz]

Were the tiles good quality Gary or were they dished?

 

[Dan]

He's only winding you up mate.

 

[Tony73]

I'm sorry hear that man, that's terrible! Seriously, I hope the operation goes well.

But it does beg the question. Why are you on Tilers' Forum tonight instead of sitting by his bedside at the hospital???

Is it because you cannot risk missing out on the official launch of Mitre Wizz, which could be today, or tomorrow, or next week or never.... :lol:

 

[Tony73]

:lol:, no MIKE my missus in hospital now, and i,m going in 5 min. Thanks

Best of luck Tony, I hope it goes alright for him tomorrow, poor little fella.

hi guys. new to the forum
im must say is not as bad as it looks. i've seen much worse to be honest.
and its not about tiles jay, its the TILER
nice tiles david. such a shame

 

[lgr34]

I'm a professional tile installer and I'v seen many bad tile jobs but this is the worst I've seen. I have installed tiles on crooked walls all the time (not recommended) and I would never do something like that. I'm just curious as to what did you pay for the installation of the tile.

 

[AliGage]

I think that's a bit of a personal question to be answering on a public forum.

It must of been a price he/she felt was resonable in the first place on the provision the work was up to standard. I thihnk the critical thing now is getting the tiling sorted at no extra cost to yourself.
Get a couple of quotes to re-do the work by professional and recommended tilers. Then put them to the installer you had originally. I'd go along the lines of "put the job right at your cost or write me a cheque for £*** so i can get a professional in to do it"

Good luck. Be interesting to see the result once sorted, post some pics and keep us updated.
