It has that authentic floorboard look about it.

Hi everyone ! I just paid nearly £1800 for a bathroom retiled floor to ceiling and I've been ripped off ! Just issued a court application cause the person..has refused to return. Although actually that's a good thing cause she's bodged our home up ! Any views ? I'd especially be greatful from any professional tilers for their opinions ? Thank you Oh we paid for tiling to the ceiling and got left with 15mm gaps which have some brown Silicon in them...

 

[WetSaw]

Doesn't look the best. Poor setting out has resulted in that gap to the ceiling.

 

[Mackas20]

Yes that's what we have been told. These photos are only a few of many !

 

[GoneGuy]

Bad setting out, terrible cuts on the trim, no Silicon on internal corner by the shower?

Is she a professional tiler? Was she recommended or was she the cheapest?

 

[Bond]

Not the best, **** poor to be honest.

 

[Rookery]

Looks very poor but without knowing the scope of the works, we don't know how much of the budget was left for tiling.

Sure , time and money constraints,can be a *****.

And what were the tiles? Some tiles are so sizey which doesn't help. On the whole it looks far from acceptable

She has her own business and quoted on her own website she states she is an expert tiler ! Unfortunately reccomended to us via her partner.. not helpful. I've paid nearly £1800 , retained £500 but aiming to get the price of getting a retiled done from court. It looks awful in some places.
