ive give the tiler a chance... hes been back and its worse... he now cant do anything for 3 months cos of his bad hand and hasnt offered to pay to get a tiler in to sort it... he started in the corner which i have read is incorrect... he should have started in the middle... he didnt say anything was uneven and he said walls were fine as he came too look at them first....even if walls were slightly out a good tiler would just fill with more adhesive to keep it flush - I have more photos of his grouting which combined with some of these photos iam going to put up on the forum i got him from...

I did see on another forum about a post was that was removed, it rang a bell and I thought it was you snadge. Judging by other peoples posts on there they would be shocked at the standard of work especially going by the pics you have shown us. Are you any closer to getting this sorted?

you would need to do more than regrout if you want it done to a proper standard! as Gary said, if the worktop not totaly level between the joins (usually not) then the tiler will urinating against the wind the further up the wall he goes if he has used worktop as baton!

Imo, remove all the tiles (carefully), let them soak in large bucket of water for a few days then get a proper tiler (recomended(and do your homework on him)) to do the job right!
