please help! poor tile job, what will it take to fix? - TilersForums.com

[Deleted member 52073]

I just had some tiles put into my small WC and the tiles are uneven, poorly cut, unevenly grouted, and look especially bad around the toilet. I have a little bit of left over tile and I am wondering what it would take to fix the area around the toilet or if it would be better to take it all out and start over again. I told the builder I am not happy and basically all I got was an excuse that tiles are difficult to cut.

Thats terrible.
To be honest the pedestal should be taken out, they are a pain to cut around, but not that badly, has he cut them with his teeth
Needs ripping up

 

[GoneGuy]

It needs ripping up and hire a proffesional tiler

 

[Time's Ran Out]

I doubt if he’s even a ‘builder’!

All up. Toilet out. Redo. Sorry

 

[Andy Allen]

Nothing wrong with cutting round toilet and basin, but you have to know what your doing..

This guy obviously dosn't...

 

[Time's Ran Out]

@Andy Allen - as long as you leave spare tiles for when the new Wc and pedestal are required.

 

[Boggs]

Ahh, simply lovely!

I always remove the WC, however in this situation it is irrelevant. The ‘tiler’ would’ve made a Pigs ear of it regardless.

I leave them a U-shape tile and an oval shaped tile....

Bugger, its a toilet
Still , ive cut around them better than that, and im a plasterer
Id still of taken it out, much much better than cutting around them

So as soon as I came home to see this job I ran upstairs to the other bathroom and told the builder to stop. Some of these he had already glued but the tiles cut along the border again look terrible! What’s the likelihood of another tiler actually wanting to take on rectifying this job? I don’t want anything further glued or grouted which would make this worse !! : ((

This surely must be his first time tiling.

I can see grey circles under the tiles in one picture.
Has he laid these straight on the old vinyl floor?

These photos are actually quite funny, sorry, I know the situation isn't.

I just can't begin to wrap my head around what makes somebody think "durr - this is OK, so I'm going to carry on like this..."

It's all in need of complete rip out and re do.

It is certainly in the top 10 worst jobs this year!
