Cut to the chase. Just show them this thread !

JuniperBeer · 29/10/2018 20:47

The tiles aren’t even flat/evenly laid. Let alone in the right pattern!

Morningpaper · 29/10/2018 20:57

That is horrifying.

Agree that MN should add a trigger warning to the subject. My EYES.

I wouldn't be happy. The tiles are the same size how difficult would it have been to line them up?!
I also wouldn't be happy with the grout line at the wood.

They need to take off tiles from the bottom in the third photo, they've done a random cut in the middle. It'll not line up with the floor and it doesn't look good.

What have they said about the grout line at the floor?

Awful Sad

Love the choice of tile, not so much the alignment. I could have done a better job and I've only tried tiling once.

Laiste · 29/10/2018 21:45

Apart from the non alignment and random cuts - the thing which is driving me crazy is where, in a few laces they've used the same pattern tile next to each other!! Arrggh.

An aunt of my mothers bought expensive tiles for her bathroom; whole room of mini glossy white 'metro' tiles, with a band of the same white tile but with a pink bow on around the center of the room. Sounds twee but were very pretty. She left her tiler to it while she was at work. She got home and he'd left a note downstairs proudly announcing the job was all finished upstairs. He'd done a beautiful job of putting all these little tiles on straight - but all the bow tiles were upside down! She was ConfusedShockHmm:(

Fuck no that's horrific

LEMtheoriginal · 29/10/2018 21:56

My dp is a builder and there is no way he would do that - absolute bodge job. I could (and have) do better

TheHobbitMum · 29/10/2018 21:59

Wow, that is absolutely awful! I've only tiled once in my life and it looked a damn site better than that! Beautiful tiles but they need to redo or refund the fees they charged and replace all the tiles & everything else they've used

I’m so pissed off
The plaster job is messy
The edges need grout
The top board needs painting or something
There’s white grout in the wood grain

Dreadful. Redo. Or money back to rectify a crap job.

Name and shame?
