Thanks everyone for all the replies- we are paying him his materials but not labour. We have someone lined up to complete the work, he comes recommended by several people and we've seen his work so fingers crossed it will be right this time!

I'm in kent, and he was a recommendation from a chippy. I told him today not to finish the job and he was peed off. He told me that he did a poor job because he worked from the bottom up! (It's a hallway) He also told me that not many of the rough bits were in my eyeline so they wouldn't be in...

Thank you for all the replies. He has offered to get a lad in to do some sanding but I don't think that's going to do much good. And yes, the work area is a tip, he didn't cover the doors, and he had to hire a ladder. Very glad I haven't paid him yet

We are in the process of suing them anyway, just one more thing to add to the list! Thanks for the reply

I've just had to take the side off my newly installed bath and have noticed that the plumbers have not fitted the feet to it. It's supported by a timber frame around the rim, but there is nothing at all supporting the base. Is that right?

Thanks for the advice- where might I find the better sort of trim, just for reference? I'm not doing the tiling myself, I'm paying someone else to to it!

I have just ordered my new bathroom tiles, very pale sandy coloured ceramic, with dark grey to go in the shower. What I haven't ordered is any tile trims. We have them in our current bathroom, plastic ones, and they are ok, never really had an opinion on them before, but now I come to...

Please help, having decided on a bathroom range my husbands dad, ( who is a plumber) has said that ideal standard is not even up to mid range standard, but hasn't given us a brand he recommends instead. I've spent the last two weeks tearing my hair out trying to choose stuff, and now I'm...
