Discuss Unhappy with bathroom tiling in the Bathroom Tiling Advice area at TilersForums.com.

I’m not happy with the quality of tiling in my bathroom. The builder says the wide, uneven and chipped edges will be hidden by the Silicon. I think this will look awful. Some of the tiles are chipped and some are marked. I’d really appreciate views on whether my disappointment is justified.

Yeah, now looking at the pictures, OMFG!

Tap the tiling with a coin and see whether there are any areas with no (or very little) adhesive behind them.

Is this the same people as did the ensuite you say?!?
No Dan. My en-suite was done by an excellent tiler that the builder sub-contracted. While I was away the builder got the bricklayer (he’s an excellent bricklayer!) to tile the bathroom. I can only assume to save money.

I will follow your advice. Thank you for your time.

I’ve been away for Christmas and he’s siliconed over the faults to try and make it look better.
