Herrinbone tiling - Opinions

[kleoni]

Hi,
Just had my bathroom tiled with herringbone style and wanted to get an opinion on the job. My main concerns are that the herringbone design doesn't wrap around corners and grout & alignment seem to be off on certain parts (pictures attached). Do you know if this is standard and expected for herringbone or is it a bad job and if so can it be fixed?

Can you attach a photo?

oops! looks like it doesnt let me attach any files as I'm new here.
Is there another way ?

I posted the same on houzz so some pictures are included here: www.houzz.co.uk/discussions/edit-question/6256252

wow really not my day today - here is the correct link www.houzz.co.uk/discussions/6256252/herrinbone-tiling

It says page not found when I try that link OP

Crossed posts!

That's some unique tiling, hard to get a sense of, but I wouldn't presume it was herringbone if I just happened past it.

It doesn't look properly lined up around the corners to me. I would expect the lines to match across the corners.

Not right at all. It looks dreadful.

It doesn’t look great to my untrained eye.

Does not look great.

It’s on the walls? I’ve just had my floors done herringbone. To make it work we had to rotate the pattern (I say we - the tiler did it).

We recently had our bathroom and cloakroom redone and the tiler said he'd redone lots of bodged herringbone jobs due to less experience tilers or builders messing it up. You need a good thickness (width) of tile otherwise the pattern is hard to follow - the tiles look too thin (width wise) to achieve the correct look too. Sorry OP.

The angles are completely different. I have just drawn lines over your image and posted the result above. The lines should be parallel.

Suspect your tiler setup incorrectly and carried on past the point of no return.

Correction to that explanation. There should only be 1 line because the blue line would be covering the red line. There should be marvellous right angle.
