    Unhappy with work.... how to re do....

    I agree that it is likely that the floor was prepared incorrectly as you will see from the fist sentence in my first post on this topic. However, if it was prepared correctly, and the original author has not replied yet re the surface tiled to, and used the correct adesive, then the problem...

    Disguising or Replacing Odd tiles ??

    You can get tile transfers. Tile paint is an option but will look rubbish. How about replacing them with mosaics? You might find that with a bit of jiggery pokery, an exact number of mosaics will fit where the ugly looking tiles are. Follow Durgo's advice for removing. Good luck

    Unhappy with work.... how to re do....

    If all the grout is cracking - then I am afraid that it is very likely that there is a problem with either the surface he tiled to having movement or he has used the wrong adhesive for the floor. The fact a tile has come loose shows this. I would also recommend a grey grout for a floor...

    Tilling Directly onto Render

    What nonsense - Sand/cement render is one of the best substrates you can tile to. I would suggest however that the initial render is left to dry - then tile onto the dry render with a suitable adhesive. If you want to tile it at the same time as rendering, what is the point of rendering -...
