Morning all,
I've just had my kitchen floor tiled and I'm more than disappointed with the results.
The grout lines are uneven in width and not straight in places. You can also see the tiles are not bedded to the same depth, particularly where the corners of 4 tiles meet.
To be fair it's not horrific, but it was obvious to me. I spoke to the tiler and he said it's because I chose cheap tiles so they're all slightly different sizes and widths etc and that's as good as I can expect with those tiles.
I don't buy it. I've tiled a couple of bathrooms with the cheapest tiles known to man and the grout lines were cock-on throughout. Did I just get lucky or is he pulling my plonker?
