poor workmanship

[garyrayne]

tiler has being doing my en-suite today and i have to say i' am fairly disappointed. it's not finished and it's not grouted and the bottom course isn't in, however the joints are not uniform and not all the tiles are flush.

i'm going to have a word with him tomorrow, but by this time the adhesive would of gone off, meaning the tiles won't come off easy and the walls are plasterboard which means this is likely come away also.

tiles are 600x300x9mm porcelain and are heavy so not easy to lay on walls. what do i do.

a. agree a reduced price and let him finish. ( grouted may not look as bad

b. pay him a day rate and some one else in to finish.

c. start again which means i need to buy new tiles.

advice please.

p.s he also scuffed my nice new wall papered wall in the bedroom.

the guy has apparently got 35 years experience!

Let him know your not happy and ask him to rectify the problems.

Large tiles are no excuse for poor fixing,does he realise he scuffed the paper?

Grout won't hide poor tiling.

Make a list of your concerns and discuss it with him,he may be more amicable than you think and put everything right

Let us know how it goes.
