Wall and Floor Tiling Advice for Kate the Mate

[Kate the mate]

where are you at kate

I'm in north Oxfordshire.

 

[Kate the mate]

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

You have got me to a T, Brian. I felt just like ripping the tiles down tonight!

Total rushed/bodged rubbish!!

Don't worry about confronting this guy, HE is the one in the wrong, if his work was okay you wouldn't need to confront him.

The biggest kick 'between the legs' for any tradesman is the customer telling them their work is unacceptable, decent guys go well out of their way and do an excellent job to avoid this.

All you have there is a 5/10 DIY job I'm affraid.

Kate, Welcome..

Sit down with a nice cup of Tea, and make a full list of what is wrong.. this way you will not forget anything if it gets slightly heated,,

Most of all ,good luck and stand your ground.. that is deffo not a nice job..

 

[Kate the mate]

Thank you, Dave. I'm not looking forward to this tomorrow, not one bit.

 

[DHTiling]

I bet you are not... Just try and keep calm and state what you want done.

Kate, you have done nothing wrong. Please don't lose any sleep over this, you need to make it clear to these people, that you are not happy with their work. If they have any conscience they will make good

only skim read the thread Kate, but the setting out is awful, the grout line should be slap bang in the middle of the bath mixer taps, in the next pic, how on earth are they going to fill that internal joint with silicon?? I'm guessing that a saving grace is that with that poor setting out they don't really know what they're doing and have probably used tubbed adhesive, which will soak off.

 

[doug boardley]

looks like he's not trowelled onto the walls either, tut tut! It's a sub standard job Kate, don't pay until it's done right.

 

[Scott]

Dont be worried KAte as said you ae not in the wrong. Once he has looked at it and you point out what you are not happy with im sure it will all be fine

 

[tootall66]

Is he capable of getting it done right ? i would just tell him where to go, then strip all the tiles remove the adhesive from them and call in "The Pros" i'm sure someone on here is local to North Oxfordshire

 

[Scott]
