Just had the tiler round for a discussion. He has offered to rectify the work that he feels needs to be done at his cost. I still need to agree with him exactly what the extent of this will be on the basis of a snagging list I'm going to prepare. The main outline of what he is prepared to...

Few more photos added. It's not looking any better after 48 hours.

Exactly my predicament Richard C. I would have thought (perhaps naively) that any tradesman would carry out all of his work to the best of his abilities, rather than get up in the morning, jump in the van, and then decide what level of competence he's going to use today. If that is the...

Good Afternoon All, Appointment made with the tiler tonight at 8pm to discuss the work. Genuine thanks for all the comments and advice thus far.

Swift reply joe-90. Many thanks. The cost was £430 for the tiling, adhesive, sealant, grout and plastic trim. I supplied the tiles. That comes in at about £24 / metre. He was in the middle of three quotes within about £50 of each other. All the quotes were from local tradesmen. He...

Good Afternoon All, I’ve just had a tiling contractor in to do about 16 metres in the bathroom. Prior to him starting I’d ripped out and / or replaced the suite, radiator, old tiles, two walls and two box sections around the pipework. Even if I say so myself the blank canvass he had to work...
