Hi all.

Having bathroom redecorated with new rules from floor to ceiling. In my opinion the tiler has done a crap job but want some professional views before I approach him tomorrow about it.

Firstly. The new bath was installed which had a protective plastic wrapping over it. The tiler, who is working for the same people who installed the bath has grouted over the protective plastic covering the bath. So when we go to peel off the plastic it is under the grout!

besides this the job seems to be really botched. Uneven gaps from the ceiling to the tiles, rough cutting, tiles not in line, poor grouting an poor cutting if tiles around pipes.

Please see photos attached and please respond with advice I can take forward.

Thank you

Stocks Tiles

Crap is being polite...! Wow... It's all ruined and completely unacceptable! I would certainly not be paying for that and would be deducting the cost of tiles from previous work (bath works). I would make them remove the tiles and sort the walls/floor out from any damage caused at their cost, if they don't then I would also be deducting the cost of labour for this (depending on what you owe)! From this moment on have everything in writing regarding every conversation and action.

Of course if you have already paid up then you are in a harder position but you will win a fight legally with that standard, it's just a time consuming situation that way and going to cost more putting it right in the process.
