Tiler has made mistakes - Advice required

[swanman]

Are you a good tiler then Dave

I bet you dont make mistakes

 

[White Room]

Hi whitebeam, what is the reason for this? The dust and mess you mean?

Yes and wet plaster sticking to your grout could ruin everything....

 

[widler]

I wanna see photos of the other bathroom, just to see like

 

[dave l and l]

yeah i am a good tiler, and everyone has made mistakes,however the guy has said that he wasnt happy with the tilers quality of work in either bathroom so by that rational the guys work is not up to much hence the reason he should be finding himself another profession
whats your point??

With only 2 small pics to go on it seems the only problem is the setting out. Sir Ramics solution is an easy fix. I would think it fair to let the tiler complete the tiling and pay him the agreed amount less the cost of the boarding/skimming and perhaps less an agreed discount. As others have said, I've seen much worse than this.

The customer is always right! :lol:
2 photos and we can pin the tiler out on a cross.
With such a bold colour I'd rather have a full tile to the ceiling than a raking cut and 30mm off a 150mm tile is a lot.
He may have perfect set out on all the other horizontal surfaces and all this so called advice could be stopping him from feeding his kids this week.
No set up is perfect and often compromise is the order of the day.

Everyone in life makes mistakes, that's how you learn, I learn most days lol...it would seem, in this case, the tilers work has failed to satisfy the expectations of the customer however, on another day and another customer could pass as a good tiled job and the exchange of tilers sweat and customers money would have been good. In this case, its fair to say mistakes where made but the timing seems odd considering one bathroom has been done which must have been a good job or you wouldn't let him near another. Another thing, we have only seen 2 pictures of this work and numerous people are hanging the tiler.... I thought this was a "tilers" forum! ... All that needs to be said on this matter is 2 small rectifiable mistakes have been made based on the 2 pics, too much opinion regarding payment and career change imo

why is only above the window tiled ?

why is only above the window tiled ?

Is guess the tiler has tiled the sides, just not done his cuts in to window yet, only done the full tiles...that's the way I do it anyway!

 

[dave l and l]

if you go back and read the posts,, the tiler decided over a weekend that he didnt want to be paid for either bathroom and was happy to come back and finish for free, that to me smacks of someone who at cant do there job properly but at least has a conscience.
we can only go with what info we are given and if what the guy i saying is true and he wasnt happy with any of the job then he is right not to pay and tiler should perhaps find a new career

sounds to me he is not really a tiler with such school boy errors, the tiling looks nice and flat though with no limpage so there is hope there, can't understand what has happened with the window was the reveal not to be tiled ? he has offered to put right for free with no charge, that's good you wont get many like that just underlines to spend more time setting out before you get yourself into a pickle.

but its been grouted ?

 

[peteablard]

but its been grouted ?

They had run out of tiles when the pics were taken so I guess he'd just grouted everything he'd done

 

[afright]

Why did,nt the customer check the work as it progressed,surely the tiler was there for at least a couple of days,it could have been checked when the tiler had gone and told the next day that they was not satisfied ?

 

[Billy Hunt]

Yeah,he's cocked up admitted it ,get him to pay for the overboarding/skimming/re- trimming and pay the man.
BTW if it was me I would have wanted paying for the first bathroom before i started tother one. We've all got to eat!
