Tiling Problem??

[nybor62]

o.5 for turning up , thats a bit generous

 

[widler]

As soon as I saw the cheapo 'No Nonsense' silicone I was dismayed. professionals don't use that, its horrible stuff and turns black. Use Dow Corning or Mapei for a quality install.

Speedfit pipes are okay I suppose but not into chrome rad valves, I'd have used chrome plated copper pipe and soldered fittings.

Downlighters will make the tile lippage worse if fitted. I'd give him 0.5 out of ten for turning up.

no amount of downlighters will make this look worse,my 1st year apprentice would make a better job

is this an all in one package, plumber tiler kinda thing, if so you better have a word. if not what is plumber saying?
also where did you get the tilers number from,

 

[Cstiling]

Terrible don't pay them a penny !!

 

[Martyn Leeds]

Not good at all.
I've seen these tiles in shops but never fitted them, no doubt they look the bizz when done right.

I think folk do 1 or 2 jobs with 6x6 whites then think they're amazing, and then start doing all the fancy stuff - and obviously struggle.

Not that we really need to know any prices like, but I'd bet he charged a hefty price & then chucked them on in a day or two.

OP - Have we phoned the tiler yet??

what the hell,this gives tilers a bad name ,put his tools outside tell him not to enter the house and dont give him a penny

did some similar to those but different colour;
these are a bit bigger but the same thing. cant see how they have so many lips on yours. maybe you got a bad batch and the tiler didn't let you know and set them all the same. some of them look like they're bowed . has he come back round to see it yet? would be interesting to hear what he has to say about it.

 

[kilty55]

yes a bad job,i would ask for it to be redone

Then you stop fixing the tiles if you find a problem....

i agree totally, not trying to remove blame from the tiler, just wondering what he was thinking, and would be interested to his explanation when he returns to rectify the bad work. cant see how he made such a mess of a relatively simple job either.
just as an afterthought, you should check what adhesive he used as if it was tubbed you may be able to remove the tiles without damaging them. cant imagine with work like that that they'll be properly adhered to the substrate. if they come off easily you can then soak them in buckets of water and they should clean up nicely.

That might be a godsend if was tubbed gear......

 

[johnryan]

would bet 10 quid it was....
looks like there's paint on the walls too.

 

[White Room]

Lets hope it was......

I've worked with these tiles before. Tiles are manhattan blanco from Porcelanosa.
Never had any bother with these being bowed. Don't like the fact you can see where all the tiles run through. Most of the jobs we have done, the customers want the tiles staggered. Looks 100% better in my opinion.
tiling though is shocking and needs to be stripped and redone properly.

Terrible terrible terrible!
