Tiling advice, please

[ncowan]

Hi... I have recently had my bathroom refitted and tiled floor to ceiling. The company tells me the tile does not cut cleanly and they have now covered the chips around the window with a stick-on trim which does cover the mess, but should I accept this? The tiles used are Nest white glazed ceramic by Love, we have not been able to take a tile to someone else to see how they cut as the tiler took all our spare tiles with him! Also, we have a small gap around the door frame that they said was too narrow to tile so nailed a piece of wood in the gap and said when painted the same color as the door frame it will look fine, is this acceptable, or should they have removed the door architrave? Also, the boxing-in of the pipes is rough and one of the pipes is not covered. See pictures. Many thanks for the advice regarding these issues. Jayne

Bad tradesman
Q: do you think you can learn to live with it?

 

[Retired Spread]

looking at state of beading, it appears wee baldy has branched out into tiling

''The installer (not a full-time professional tiler - chancer yes I know, slap!)''
I think you have your answer!

Get a refund / or do not pay ..it’s a start again job ...

Got a tiler coming next week . Mate recommended him

 

[Stewie03]

The fact he can’t mitre any of the beads is awful lol cheeky basturd took your spares aswell lol

Wrong forum.

 

[ChrispyUK]

Lack of care and attention to detail to state the obvious.

The gap by the architrave could be done better and easy to sort. Chipped tiles around window will need to come off if you can’t live with it.,

 

[Monkey Boy]

It took longer to notch that edging than it would’ve to mitre it

 

[essexandy]

I honestly thought you were better than this @ChrispyUK

 

[TonyM]

Rough as f**k

[tapit]

You can dry cut if you know what you’re doing

I got some tilers in to do a bathroom on a job a few years back. Stretched thinner than a Riizla at the time so a bit of a stress relief. Fully tiled with 600x300 porcelain. Tiled and grouted in a day so quicker than me, but loads of chipped edges. Managed to silicon most out but just disappointed.
Everyone bangs on about getting proper trades in, but sometimes you’re just better off doing your own work.
