update of my bathroom retiled after last mess

[sparkle333]

my last thread was closed due to some members arguing so ive started a new one with an update on my bathroom re tiled after the lady tiler made such a mess, and sadly the new isn't very good. I was recommended this tiler from a manager of a tile shop I know and I was expecting brilliant job done as he, told me how good he was and how happy I will be instead its a mess and only a bit better than the other womans tiling, but he kept asking me for payment every few days so stupid me paid him apart from £70 outstanding, its cost me 3 times more and im not happy at all, hes supposed to be coming back on weds to do tiny finishing touches but hes unaware how long the snag list is. ive got 2 broken floor tiles already after a wk, cos hes done exactly the same as other tiler where the sub floor stops at bath and door hes not but anything under edge of tiles and 2 have snapped. the tile upside down on my window, he had propped up for 3 days and when he removed prop , within 2 mins it fell in my bath scratching it in 6 places and too bad to get out myself , hes denied tile did that , my the painter has told me hes brother is a bath repair guy and will try and do it, he knelt by bath to look with padded knees and tile cracked hence 1 break , I feel gutted that its not right yet again. some of the probs are below

ive got 2 tiles in my shower facin directly at me with tiny chipped corners which r goin to bug me

hes not siloconed around the shower or sink

hes left the floor tiles edges not packed under hence tiles are breaking and I warned him other tiler had done that and hes done the same

tiles at ceiling all diff heights

hes not grouted behind my door

hes left a raw edge of tile on my cupboard exposed

window all packed with uneven grout at back as cut too short and none of the lines follow the wall

the edgings are all left sharp grr

hasn't put floor tile behind my loo

some of the grouting and Silicon hasn't covered the edges of tiles where is cut unevenly

ive got some lips on tiles , some on a new stud wall so no excuses for that wall

hes left tiles covered in smeared grout and hasn't cleaned them after 1 sponge down after he grouted and told me I had to do it

I feel sick to stomach over all this, I cant see how hes going to manage to sort all this out at all, no way I can pay 3rd time to have this redone if he refuses to do it. some would be nightmare to re do, some im going to have to put up with, I cant have the chipped tiles replaced as my showers in place now and its on a stud wall that will come apart as it did last time. im really really upset and annoyed, he wont do anything I ask, I pointed out some of the top tiles have steps where they are different heights and asked for him to re do, hes refused and said will Silicon over and I wont notice, im not too happy about this

wow I thought it wasn't great but didn't realise it was that bad omg , hes such a nice guy too that makes it harder to say something, although I think he could turn awkward if pushed, I defo want the window doing again cos it looks an eye sore thick grout at back cos tiles not cut deep enough to go to window and don't follow the brick affect of the walls and the edgings all sharp at the corners to touch, think im going to have to put up with chipped tiles in shower or that's going to be horrendous to get off and shower now fixed to that wall

I think he's dead now,,but even with his gammy hand he'd have done a better job!

Its obviously a poor job by someone who doesnt know the job nor does he seem to care. I rather think that Sparkle will have to put up with it or pay someone else to do it right.

Hi sparkle, you not had any luck with this and now your seriously out of pocket. Good news, these smallish issues with your bathroom can be rectified however the bad news is the general standard of the work is very poor and all the snagging in the world won't fix that but what you gonna do? Pay again... Nope! What you can do is learn a lesson from this!! Whenever you hire someone to do anything, be it tile your bathroom or fix your car... Do your homework on them, also, make them aware of the standards you expect then in the end if your not happy ... Don't pay pay for it.

If I've missed anything im sorry but I've jumped from the start of page 3. Im sorry but once bitten and all that Im struggling to have too much sympathy.

 

[sparkle333]

that's a bit out of order alicage , I don't know anything about tiling and looking for advice , I don't need your sympathy thx, looks like ive been had again, as I explained earlier ive got lots of serious personal things going on so maybe im not being as watchful as i should have been and he promised me he would do a good job and I would be very pleased, I haven't got time to be watching every workmans move , I didn't think this would happen again after being recommended him from a tile shop, I stupidly thought he would be good at his job

with all due respect sparkle, we're tilers, not The Samaritans, all we can comment on is what we see as relates to our profession/trade.

I'm just waiting for when the alien appears and you can ask if it wants 'a nice cup of tea'
