So we're nearing the end of a renovation. it's been going on for several months and the builders have been v good (and it shows in their invoices)...but I think someone's taken their eye off the ball.
We are not living there and we usually check in the evenings (no natural light, in fact hardly any light).
This morning I went to the house to check on the bathroom. it was tiled this week with Johnson's Prismatics matt satin white tiles. What's clear is that the satin white isn't quite white. Some tiles have got a very very pale pink flush to them, and worse still, others have a pale pale blue flush. It's noticeable, probably more so at different points of day / in different light.
So - we bought the tiles, which I'm sure the builder will defensively point out. Obviously they are defective batches: I've no idea why they are two different colours but I'm assuming two defective batches. This pisses me off because Johnson's is a good brand and they're not cheap, cheap tiles. £24/sqm.
But why didn't their tiler raise it during the week as he tiled? Don't you think that's negligent? Did he think we wouldn't notice? That's my argument. Why didn't someone tell us? We pay them to project manage.
I want them to retile. Am I being reasonable? What really gets my goat is they charged a fortune for tiling, too. It was the one main area of the schedule of works I really argued over and beat him down on because I couldn't believe his pricing.
God I hate this process now. I will never renovate a house again. I am almost beginning to wish I never had to see the house again.
