I would like to ask the opinion of any willing to offer their input. We
recently had our bathroom done by a plumbing company, because I didn't feel
confident trying it myself, and also wanted it done in a reasonable
timespan.
The job has now been finished, but we feel that the standard of work is
unaceptable for what one would expect from a professional.
1) the tiles into the window ledge, have an edge that is exposed, so it is a
huge contrast of the terracotta edge compared to the marble effect white
tile. He covered some of the edge with grouting, but this is clearly a half
hearted job... Is this considered normal, if not, what is normally done?
2) Where the tiles come against the bath there is an untidy smear of
silicon. (the tiles stop about 0.5cm above the bath, once again is this considered the norm)
3) at the meeting of the coving and wall, the tiles are all at differing
heights, once again looking very untidy. (this varies by about 1.5cm is this considered normal)
Unfortunately they have already been paid, but we are not at all happy with
the work.
Does it seem reasonable to all out there to demand that they redo this work.
Does anyone know if I have any options if they refuse.
regards
Bruce
