This is what I've just had done. Done by 2 builders/plumbers, I'm not sure what they 'specialise' in. Sent from a housing association.

Less than impressed. Now trying disguise it by using a dark grout. Ripping out the Silicon and going to get some black stuff.

Yeah that's not the best is it.

You can just imagine the blobs of adhesive under the tile in picture 4 to allow it to crack like that!!

just been speaking to the customer she done the floor tiles herself but the splashback was done by a very well known company and cost her a load of money

This didn't look too bad when I arrived.I was only fitting the screens as a favour.

Then I looked deeper..

The customer asked me what I thought..


The job was done about 6 months earlier..

Just leaks... 5 joints out of 6.. but the 'timber' must have been wet before it was tiled.
