Tiler makes poor job of splashback, ruined sockets, bad grout, uneven tiling

[snadge]

I dont think that it would take too long to sort out , You will then be happy with the tiling and let the experience read so..."pay cheap, pay twice"

If you need any further help you know where we are. We dont like seeing this type of work as much as you do.

yeah thanks, i will be back on if i go ahead with it myself for guidance, i know - i tried to save my gf money, instead ive cost her money...feel really bad about it, im out of work too so cant pay for it or i would

thanks again, speak soon

that's a terrible job, tiles lipping badly and uneven. needs a total re- do if you want it looking proper i.m.o. it also looks like you have a gap between the worktop and back wall? if so i would skim the wall to fill the gap prior to re-tiling. good luck with it but i wouldn't let the original 'tiler' touch it again. you've given him a chance to rectify it with no success

poor tiling poor grouting ,and the Silicon well what can i say , shocking,

 

[Scott]

Silicon is awful i can get a better result using my elbow! The grout hasnt been sponged off properly and the setting out in the hob isnt great. I dont think it needs a full redo though it hink you you just pop out the few offending ones then you can get it to look reasonable. The 2 behind the hob defo need to get levelled out!

Hello and welcome..

Looking at those pics, then that is 30 years of tiling nightmares.. he has done for others.

The grouting is abysmal and the setting out not good either, notice the different sized cuts in the hob area, if it was centred it would have looked better on the eye as this is a focal point.

We here so so often now as cheap prices tend to attract customers to use this type of worker.

It could be made to look better as mentioned above but also as mike say's a rip out and a good tiler will make it 100%..

Where abouts are you..?

thers are good tilers out there who are finding it hard , then muppets come along and turn our work like this , and he is probs busy as well ,
doing cheap quotes and sub- standard work, :mad2:

 

[Stewart]

Another fine Example of cheap labour at it's finest. I would suggest a total redo........

 

[widler]

not a good job at all.
should of re plastered at least where the hob is (before kitchen went in),they are running up but also running with the curve of the wall,so makes it look twice as bad.and the Silicon,well,my dog could do better with his tongue
cheaper is not always the best policy

unless its beer,carlsburg export is cheaper at our local spar than it is at asda,now thats good:hurray:

i remember priceing a job up where someone else had done downstairs(plastering),the chap said " the other chap was half your price" this is while there is a bloke downstairs with a electric sander,sanding down the other blokes plastering:lol:,needless to say i did this:mad2:then this:lol: and walked out

looks like hes tried to apply the silicon while the tiles and wortop was still wet from cleaning off, as we know silicon wont stick or even look at anything that is slightly damp. one good thing if there is any is that if he did used tubbed addy they will pop off easy enough.

I wouldn't have started that job at dinnertime and expect to do a decent finished job by teatime, why didn't he just chill out, worked till say 5:30pm and then come back at his first available time and finish off? He must have known you'd ring him after you'd seen it.

You said his phone was ringing all day? I can guarantee you some of those would have been call backs to other jobs.

So bad !
This standard of work would make a poor tiler look good unfortunately.
Name and shame i say.
