Comments (1)i would email the boss to say that you are "happy to pay the bill minus the amount for the product not used plus enough to cover the extra product used" (include the individual amounts, if known) and quote the final amount that you expect to pay for the job "as soon as the scratches are repaired" best of luck and hope you're happy with the final results...See MoreDodgy Stone Benchtop Installation: Awful or Acceptable?
Comments (4)Looks like a difficult one, we have this issue sometimes with a tiling equivalent. If the works done before hand are not straight, flat etc, it can be very difficult and even damaging to try and install something flat over the top (benchtop, tiles etc). We see dodgy plastering jobs that get tiled onto, it is virtually impossible to do a good job if the base work is off. Smaller tiles will show obviously and larger ones will have a great risk of breaking with these small voids under. Therefor the tradie installing the 'aesthetic' aspect cops the brunt of mistakes made by the trades before hand. It can thus be difficult to blame them for this, as it doesn't necessarily indicate their poor workmanship. However, if you are paying a professional to do what it takes to complete the job in a high quality manner, then there is always a way to fix this ($$$). If it was going to be a foreseeable problem, and cost you more money, he could have asked you if you would like him to make more expensive changes to achieve the perfect finish, or continue as is at the risk of it being sub-par finish. That should have been your choice to make on consolidation. So it is a tricky one for sure! Are the cabinets below new or is it just a new benchtop?...See MoreIs this acceptable on newly polished floor boards?
Comments (3)it is very much to their credit and will encourage them to be more careful next time and it would have been difficult for you to confront them but after all the mess is over and everything is back in place you'll be so happy that you asked and expected a better result, well done to you...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 Morepalimpsest
