So the situation is that the client requested a bathroom shower hob and shower screen removed thereby converting the bathroom to a wet room.
Builder asked if the floor tiling extended under the hob to which the client mistakenly said it did. The floor had been laid many years ago and she thought the floor had been laid and the hob had been added afterwards.
When the builder removed the hob it became clear that this was not the case.
The hob had been built at the same time as the flooring laid and by removing the hob, the waterproofing is now compromised requiring the entire bathroom tiling and first row of tiles on the wall to be replaced.
So who should pay for this? The client or the builder?
Appreciate your views. Thanks.
