Has anyone got a link to this hall of shame thread?

I'm a plumber and as I say I do everything in a bathroom, including plastering.

Without sounding like I'm blowing my trumpetI do a fantastic smooth job of it, I went on a quick course a few years ago and they teach you you to mix, application, preperation etc and its up to you to go off and develop the skill required to do it properly. This takes years to perfect.

I even get people ringing up wanting solo plastering work done after they've been in one of my bathrooms.

hall of shame is in the forum arms section of the forum a bit more posting and then if you ask nicely you will get access to the arms section of the forum hope this helps:8:

Horrible, just horrible - really bad, even by low standards where there are more than a few dodgy tilers around - and should be redone at the plumbers expense, just really unfortunate that he has been paid.

If the substrate was seriously uneven or in poor condition, he should have picked up on this when laying out the job and flagged the issue as a job stopper, ditto for any batch of bowed tiles.

Just can't believe any one with twenty years experience would deliver a finish as poor as this.

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:
