i think the kind thing would be to give him a voucher for an eye test.How do I go about this problem now. I have paid him upfront for the materials, do I refuse the rest of the payment? Ask him to stop immediately? Very frustrated.
Even refund the money I have given him for materials ? The work is that bad you think ?Tell him you've had a professional tiler see it and that you've been advised not to pay for it then tell him you're not happy with it and point everything out. Ask him if he'll refund the money so you can get it done properly. You have to tell him.
All joking aside, I feel for you. It's very easy for everyone to say do this or do that, me included, but if you're not a confrontational person it can be very intimidating to front someone and tell them their work is so poor that you want a full refund, it can feel easier to just cut your losses and start again.Even refund the money I have given him for materials ?

Education, education, education! What is it with our trade that so many people can't tell a good job from a bad one? Luckily this forum exists for amongst other things people can be informed exactly as to how a wall should look or how a floor should be set out etc. I go to so many jobs where the customer has done a bit of tiling or had diyer in to a job and is genuinely impressed with it whereas all I can see is mistakes. It doesn't seem to happen with other trades. If a Plumber does a bad job, he may have a leak. A dodgy painter may have runs in the gloss etc. Customers see this but so many can't spot misaligned tiles or poorly finished grout. I just don't get it. Rant over. Soz.
Very true there!!! My dad agreed to have the bathroom done by him as he was recommended by another relative, personally I would have used a dedicated SKILLED tiler, not a painter and decorator. He has just done the floor, Ill put a picture up for you to see. This just keeps getting more hilariously bad !!!! Look at this!!!

In my opinion no one can truly be top notch in every aspect of building work.
