Need Advice. Is this a bad tiling job?
Comments (34)When you go contrast in colors with grout and tiles you are not getting perfect look for the first 2016 post. But that tiling in the shower having small cut at bottom was just not a good planning by tiler, and its not fixing job now its redoing whole bathroom now. And not aligning joints in the other post shower floor and mainfloor does not look too off as photo in clicked at an angle and separation between two floors will have glass or something. But not aligning up the walls is odd but still be affected by other factors...See MoreTiling patch job advice
Comments (12)Personally I think that even if you managed to get the same tiles it will still look odd because the joins will have to be grouted so there will be an odd pattern of tiles. Unless you got enough so that you could take up the surrounding tiles and therefore get continuity....See MoreAdvice needed on bathroom window frame replacement job
Comments (2)i have to say that paying cash for a job so that the worker can avoid including payment for their tax and GST is illegal and party to fraud ..the extra payment is not for your invoice it's a savings for you so that they don't have to include the payment or GST in their income for tax and i think that expecting a quality job for work for which you haven't received an invoice or receipt is unlikely and they've already produced bad workmanship twice... i wonder if they repaired the dampproofing and flashing around the window and if you will have a similar problem in future?..i would patch up the grout and clean off the tiles and keep an eye on the wall so that if/when the leak returns you're ready to employ a professional to do a quality job...See MoreIs this an acceptable tile job?
Comments (11)God is in the details, and if they haven't been resolved and documented so that everybody on the job knows what is happening then you can end up with this type of messy situation. In an ideal world, all walls and shower niches would be perfectly square and plumb. And the client would have decided on the tile size so that the niche could be designed and built to avoid cutting tiles around the perimeter. And all tiles no matter how cheap they are would be perfectly flat with no bowing or twisting. And all tilers would know how to tile and take pride in their work and redo it at their cost if it wasn't perfect. Unfortunately, we don't live in an ideal world and there are sometimes elements that are beyond the control of your tiler. But yes it does look crappy, and it would make me unhappy. What does the tiler say? Best of luck with the resolution, Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls and Dr Retro Virtual Visits...See Morerunswithpoodles
