Tilers Forums Hall of Shame....

Re: Hall of shame....

Tried this earlier in the week but couldn't get pics to upload. Hope it works this time.

Ripped up a Trav floor that cost the customer a £1000.00 4 months ago and took my apprentice 20 minutes to strip.

Floor was made up of, t&g floor boards covered with Plastic Ply, with 12mm Travertine installed using a 5mm trowel and grey adhesive (which was at least flexible)

Re-done using 18mm ply over floor boards, with Ditra Matting. Then tiled using a 660 x 330m Italian porcelain

Nice looking end result Stewart. Did the customer loose confidence in natural stone!? I bet she was please with the porcelain, it looks great!

To be honest I love these jobs, its all high price stuff because they dont want to be had over again, its a four figure sum and rising quickly, the first figure is a 5 and its extra on materials.
Dont ya just love these cowboys

Jeez Dom, that's really awful mate, I am on a similar job too at the moment in a very small wetroom where a "builder" laid a screed floor with a flat no fall area around the drain, (so big puddle), the polyflor safety floor has been stuck with tile and carpet adhesive :mad2:, the tanked corners held together with silicon, tiles were dot and dabbed on walls with the window cuts done with a paving saw (chips in the glaze as big as half your little finger nail, and the pvc trim cut straight and the adjoining one profiled to it :lol:, it's unbelievable what I'm coming across at the moment, I wish I had got some photos, but my customer removed it all before I had a chance to picture it. On the up side, as you say, you can do it how you want to and charge accordingly

Dom, "Can't you just make this work?":mad2:

Dom, "this shouldn't be too much to fix this up eh?" rrr:

Dom, "this shouldn't take you too long!" :incazzato:

Ever heard any of those? GRRRRRR

hopefully this will happen more and the people responsible will disappear,allowing me back to full time tiling....what a joke,these guys do make me laugh but the poor customer probably going for the cheaper option gets stung!

Kitchen floor installed by a major tile supplier six months ago.... this is one of two jobs that i have to rip-out and re-do by this company. this one is small, but the next one is a cracker and will post pic's next week.

Just a few pics from a downstairs wc that i'm working on at the mo, there is grout every where apart from where it should be. pics speak for themselves. shoddy work not only in this room but also in customers bathroom, en-suite and kitchen which i've already completed. Happy new year to you all.

I dont understand how they got one wall so far out of line with the other, surely they werent going to grout that gap above the skirting
