Anyone can tile – can’t they?
Myself & my Wife joined a gym last December on the promise that an upgrade of facilities would be taking place early in the new year. The other day I saw a workman in the disabled toilet. I took interest because he had with him 2 boxes of tiles. His whole demeanour did not fill me with any confidence at all.
A few days later I checked the disabled toilet to find out the quality of this chaps workmanship. The enclosed pictures need to words to describe what a total mess he made of the job. I have taken a personal interest in this situation because I am a tiler, and I have a disabled Daughter.
I asked to see the Manager of the club, but surprise surprise when the receptionist checked his whereabouts he was in a meeting. He promised to call me, but that was last Thursday and I have not had a call.
I also enclose a picture of the men’s shower area which has had a few tiles replaced. The grouting looks like it was put on with a trowel and left for a few days to harden. It really is no joke what these builders have done.
If I was allowed to I would name and shame the gym, but for legal reasons I had best keep their name quiet.
Cheers Sean

Everone notices bad tiling and beautiful tiles - but how many notice GOOD tiling!
It is surely a reflection of the owners/managements lack of interest to allow such workmanship to remain and will undoubtably lead to further vandalism which this is an example of!
