Wall and Floor Tiling Advice for Kate the Mate

[mikethetile]

At least you have saved your tiles Kate

I wouldnt worry anymore about him, just move on with your project

one day he might learn what a client expects from him, well done for standing your ground, its not easy telling a bloke his work is substandard. dont worry about him reading this thread no one has made a personal comment about him just pointed out his work is not up to scratch

if he wishes he can get a masterclass here on setting out, fixing and customer care. all he needs to do is make himself known on this thread and we will help him avoid getting into these difficulties in the future

I'm sure he will read this thread after googling 'tilers forum'.

You could have made that job look amazing mate, but it seems you carried on with your mates messed up layout.
When you got back from that outing why did you not correct his work?

I'm at the stage myself where I need to take on a lad but its things like this that stop me hiring anyone, I don't want my good name being affected by anothers substandard work.

I am really thrilled to hear this, Scottley. Thank you so much. I'll send you a private message.

Kate, I think you must understand by now, the passion the members of this forum feel about these "so called tilers". Take Scottley up on his offer. Good luck.

Here is the repair he did to fill the corner,

Shocking!,
You did the right thing by showing this slither king the door.

How many days work did they do before you stopped the job Kate? It will have cost him dearly especialy with an employee in tow.

Kate, I used to watch 'LOST' on the TV. I could not wait till the next episode. Your thread of 9 pages comes very close to 'LOST'. I'm sure you would win 'Thread of the Month' (if there were such a competition!). So many people start a really interesting thread and we never get the follow-ups. Well done for keeping us upto date on proceedings. You are probably enjoying a nice glass of wine now, so I'll leave you to it. Good luck with the rest of the project. Maybe you should keep those slithers of tiles and mount them on some perspex. You could maybe put the perspex over the toilet as a little reminder of what your bathroom could have ended up looking like! Cheers Sean
