Tiling disaster help

Yep, I was referring to the paper face of the plasterboard. I'm just gutted that I have to redo everything again now, as I spent a lot of time and effort in putting up new plasterboard, fitting in the shower tray, tanking it, all done myself... just for this guy to mess it up completely. Should have just attempted to tile it myself instead!

Here's a photo of it prior to him tiling it.

Yep....looks spot on....all ready for a decent tiler to come in and do a grand job for you!!!!
You could and probably would have done a much better job of it.
If your'e going to reboard it....I usually leave any shower recesses until I start tiling....this way I can avoid any fragile or unbalanced cuts. I try to get it so the bottom of the recess is on the top of a tile and the top of the recess is on the bottom of a tile.....you have a full tile both top and bottom so no L shaded tiles.
 
Wow is putting it mildly this chancer has ruined your careful prep work no other option but to remove the shoddy work and start again it should look more like this feel for you this is a harsh lesson to learn ☹️ . Regards Kop

No wonder, that's cheap labour, an in and out job.
Customers often think they could get a good job for cheaper rate, but that's not the case, you always get what you pay for. You the customer have to wonder why so cheap, you paid that guy to hack your job. That is sad!

Sorry I don’t agree.

£800 is not cheap for 18sqm.

It’s a 3 day job start to finish, even supplying 4 bags of addy and grout he would still be looking around £230 a day labour.

How long have you been tiling for?
What kind of job can you deliver in 3 days work?
