I am a new tiler and I appreciate you posting these photos.
It gives me some personal satisfaction in knowing I would never carry out a job like this.

To be fair,i have used them tiles in the past and they were probably the worst tiles i have ever used.

I.e the sheets were all over the place,the joints were diffrent thickness.

But to be perfectly frank,nothing that a stanley knife and a spirit level woul'dnt sort out.

Oh and by the looks he's used black grout which will show off every single defect in his work.

You were right in not paying him,but you have to give him the opportunity to put it right as what was mentioned earlier in the thread you paid him for work completed and then stopped the check,if he takes you to court,you may lose and end up paying out a lot more.

Good luck with what you decide.

now i'm not a tiler yet i've only got 4 jobs under my belt and my wife was the boss on all them but from what i know of my own skills 'I'm better than him!'

I've got to say looking at those tiles there is soooo much scope to screw up so I kinda think the price is justified but only if he had taken the time required to do the job well.

Absolutey shocking! If I had "tiled" that I would be ashamed to ask for payment, never mind try to pass it off as a good job!:rant:

 

[MTiler]

Unbelieveable. How can he say its good, obviously has no pride in his work, or is completely blind!

I have also used those tiles and the tolerances and misalignment meant that i ran over on the job. My finished result was a lot better than that rubbish but it took a lot of extra time effort and patience. Can I ask how you would have reacted if on day one the tiler stated these problems and said it would be an extra day or day and a half to complete the work to the required high standard and charged accordingly?

It is impossible to examine every tile when quoting and i believe i needed to remove about 40% of the tiles form the mesh and fit individually. Which again takes time and money. I will not defend that workmanship but if you look at the pictures a lot of those tiles are not connected to the mesh anywhere near plumb, and he prob never had the time patience or professional pride to sort this!
