Public Thread!: Poor Tiling Workmanship by DIY and Rogue Traders

[brownin]

We could dedicate a whole thread to pub toilets. Pretty sure they cop most of the worst tiling!

Just been to look at a job. This is a bathroom that was completed just before Xmas 2012, all work carried out by builder.

No silicon between tray and tiles just grout, no silicon between cubicle frame and tray, massive gaps around edge of room filled with grout and then covered in parts with silicon. 1 tile running at 90 degrees in front of shower tray to rest of floor. Notched out tiles where pipes are. joints up to 15mm where walls meet. Tiles not following profile of shower tray. Grout cracking and popping out of joints.

The tiles are not loose yet, but I would say it won't be long before they're rocking Andy!!

That's not a bead Pete, I think he must have had some silicon left on his hands when he fitted the toilet and thought I'll just wipe it on the wall, sausage fingers!!! :lol:
