Wall and Floor Tiling Advice for Kate the Mate

[enduro]

What area are you from maybe a forum member could help you with this.

Oh, dear. I knew instinctively that it was wrong and I told the tiler that I thought so, but he said 'are you trying to tell me how to do my job?' That's why I came here to check. I wish you could come and tell the tiler rather than me.

Kate i'd love to come and tell your tiler that his work is sub-standard. Ive confronted a guy before who'd done some awful work for a female friend of mine. and refused to leave her house until he'd removed the mess he called a job. Can you get your partner or a friend to be present when you talk to him? Remember you are right and that is not a good job as you have already worked out for yourself. Best of luck Bri

Looks like tubbed adhesive too.

Here is the repair he did to fill the corner,

 

[Scott]

Rubbish! What is he going to do around the taps then? The first pic didnt look too bad until i zoomed in. Get him to put it right!

 

[Stewart]

Very poor workmanship! you must ask him to remove and redo......

Kate as i said a few minutes ago this really not acceptable. As you said you have paid good money for this and you expect a good job, and this, quite simply, is not.

 

[Kate the mate]

If I confront him and he disagrees with what I've said, do I pay him anything to get rid of him? What do I do? I don't want to end up over paying to get rid of him. Funny thing is he has been a very nice man so far.

 

[Stewart]

Don't pay another penny until the job is done correctly.

 

[Kate the mate]

I haven't paid him anything yet although we have bought all the tiles.

 

[mikethetile]

A lot of these blokes are very nice but unfortunatly you havent paid for a candlelit dinner with him , you have paid for a pro tiling job, which is what you havent got

he has refused to refix the tiles and his repair is unacceptable

remove him from the job and withhold payment untill he corrects the work to your satisfaction

 

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

Hi Kate, sorry but I have to agree with you, and my forum colleagues above. This work is not acceptable imo, basic setting out not good. You are paying for a professional job, this is not one. Insist they rectify this work at their own expense:mad2:

 

[faithhealer]

where are you at kate

 

[White Room]

If he finishes the bathroom you won't be happy and will probably suffer it because the cost of new tiles to replace............

Have a talk tomorrow, you are the customer, if they can't see it being that bad then they should'nt be putting the tiles on in the first place.

 

[Ian]

Kate you don't have to be confrontational, just voice your concerns, but DON'T back down all the lads and lasses on here will tell you that this is not a professional job, send him in our direction if he starts making excuses. Sorry to sound a bit harsh, but if you let this go you will be looking at it every day, and every day it will make you angrier until you rip it all down
