Update - What a Bodge in the Bathroom

[lawrenso]

Hi Guys,

just thought I would let you know - it is official, I have had an inspection carried out by a Tile Association registered company and it is basically a bodge job - he agrees with a full hack off and start again.

see thread here http://www.tilersforums.com/tiling-forum/18723-what-bodge-up-bathroom-3.html

Should have the written report with relevant extracts from the British Standards.

I will send a copy of it to the tiler, demanding payment in full if not it will be off to the small claims court. Who knows, maybe his dad will come round again :incazzato:

Thanks again for all your advice

Cheers

Steve

Well done for persevering with this....the more publicity this gets on here or even locally verbal or ...? to your home the better. . One less to contend with is a good start !

Recieved another Solicitors Letter yesterday from Ace Tiler, the tiler that sparked the "Dodgy Bathroom" topic. Thugh in this case the tiler doesn't really have a leg to stand on as the bathroom has been checked by a propper tiler recommended by an association in the tile industry and he too says the bathroom isn't to standard. Not too sure what the attempt is with this letter though, and it's not addresses to me, it's a copy of the letter sent to the customer and from what I can tell Ace Tiler (what a name!?!?!?) is on the loosing side.

The threads have been moved to the Arms, and lawrenso has access now. Discussion WILL stay alive on this forum. I promise you that.

Hi All,

you may be wondering why this thread has appeared in the "Arms". Well it appears that the dodgy tiler has been upset by the posts on here (although he has known about it for 1 month) and has tried to ruin my weekend by making a vexatious claim against me, sending a letter on the 7th for response on the 9th with offers of compensation - he has also tried to drag the owner of this forum into the matter as well so that is the reason that it has been moved.

The downside for them is that they may have breached the data protection act, and have also given away not only the name of the tiling company but also his name, my name and address and can be easily found from that information.

Anyway - on his own head be it.

Thanks to all the guys on here and especially to Dan and Dave for their support on this matter.

Cheers

Steve

Ace Tiler Mr Johnathon Hughes - Blagger.com - The place to leave feedback and comments about companies you have used - Ace Tiler can be found on Blagger.com should anybody have a bad experience with him I'd recommend you stick the details of the situation in there to help those looking for a tiler to take him out of their short list.

After looking at the pictures and reading all the details again, I am concerned that he's done work before this job to the same standard and hope the heavy tiles don't fall off on somebody trying to have a bath. It's really horrible to hear these tilers still get their tools out of their van. Tut tut.

To be honest, I am thinking of opening a new Thread on the General Forum titled "What a fantastic job" and put pictures up of the completed job that has been done - no mention of the previous tiler at all - but if he looks it will wind him up no end - try and get a solicitor to use that :smilewinkgrin: against me - although they haven't got a bleeding leg to stand on as it is.
