Is this an acceptable edge cut? - TilersForums.com

Matt - That is a good point. I guess it really depends whether the price paid for the tiling matches the finish.
This room is 1.6mx1.6m, tiled floor and all the way to the ceiling, and we are being billed £**** for it. Reasonable?

It is clearly bad workmanship and he has no pride in his work, if he won't/can't rectify all the issues you have raised I would get another tiler ( look on this forum for nearest tiler to you as you will be getting expert advice and workmanship)to give you a quote on price to rectify it and deduct that off the bill.

Looks like he's used his teeth to cut them!

That's about 15m of wall and 2.5m of floor. So about 17.5 m square. ( not allowing for door, window and bath)
I'm presuming he is providing the adhesive and grout? Depending on where you are, that seems a lot.

It is forbidden to discuss prices, in a trend open to the public.
Edit thanks

We're in South London.
Yes that includes adhesive and grout.
Door and window yes, but no bath...room too small

My apologies. I was unaware.
Won't happen again.

If you have a standard height room @2.4m approx and minus 1.5m2 for the door.
No deduction for a window, highly unliky there's a saving to be made there.
So 16m2 give or take.
Not being in your tilers shoes, I can't say you were overcharged.
However, if I charged you that sum of money, I personally would expect to give you a much higher standard of finish.

You know what's more surprising than the lack of quality?
The fact that many many customers would be happy enough with it.
That's a proven point because so many "tilers" are turning out work like that and are busy doing it.
I despair sometimes, I really do.
Today I spent about 4hrs mitreing and polishing porcelthin, and I've probably another 12 hrs worth of the same.
I could have put a 5mm trim on and the customer would be happy enough...
I'm never gonna make any money tiling like this
