Questions about tiling quality

[charlie1]

Another thing!, you say the only way to fix tiles is by 100% coverage! comon!! if you think its easy to get 100% coverage all of the time then i'm afraid your kidding yourself, dont mean to be disrespectfull but thats very wishfull thinking! just because you look at the bisc of a tile and its compleatly covered and substraight too, this dont mean there is 100% adhesive coverage between tile and substraight!


Charlie back off and go and have a coffee and relax a little. If you are going to continuously argue with the points raised and posted then I dont have the time nor the inclination to humour you.

:mad2:

Dimond, I dont need to calm down, its you thats banging your head! Take it easy

Nooker,

Regardless of the debate going on about the dot and dabbed wall tiles, it must be said that if you have any floor tiles that have been fixed with this method then they will need to be removed as without adhesive supporting the full tile then they are likely to crack when pressure is applied i.e. walking on them

Good luck

Just read the thread, thanks for all the information everyone. When I get a chance I will bring in a professional to sort out the tiles.
Again, thanks everyone.

Hi Nooker,

I've done a lot of inspections on jobs that were like yours. None of us here can form a full and comprehensive opinion of what it going on at your house with just a few photos. I think you will be well-served to hire a professsional tile setter to come and evaluate your job and to give you an opinion about both the good and the bad, and to provide advice of how to go forward from here.

Pay this person for his time at your house, and then you will have the peace of mind and the confidence to negotiate with your builder and tile contractor (I think I read that you are having an addition built). I don't think you need anything formal, such as a written report, but you do need for someone to look at the job and to spend an hour or so with you, explaining what your options are. And more than just negotiating with your builder and tile contractor, you need to know what they already should know. It's one thing to get them to agree to do it over again; it's another to ensure that they get it done correctly the second time.

I've been posting and participating on tile and stone forums since the late 90's (which in Internet time is a lifetime ), and I've seen and read of thousands of situations like yours. After all these years on the internet, I have also developed a keen sense of who knows what they are doing, and I'm confident when I say there are quite a few first-class tradesman on this site. Dave and Dan would be able to point you to one that is close to you and might be available to help you get this thing sorted.

Best of luck with this.
