We had a contractor tile some of the walls in three of our bathrooms with white subway tile. It looks unacceptable to me; the edges at the corners of the walls are sharp on both sides - he did not use curved tiles. We have other areas in the bathroom that were previously tiled with the same type of tile. Those older tiles all have curved edges. He told me that i should have told him "what I wanted" before he grouted everything. I am so confused by this - do most people have to say this to the person laying the tile? Is it not assumed that the edges will be curved? There is also areas where the size of the grout lines do not match in size. Some are wider than others. There are also places where there are tiny pieces, some of which aren't the same size from row to row. It looks odd. I don't like the way it looks. It makes me feel like I am "whining" about aesthetics, but again - I am just used to seeing a product that looks different - tiles with even spacing. The other problem is - I just am not sure how to tell him that I don't think he can fix it. I think he is not capable. But he has obviously spent time and money doing this work. Do I tell him that he gets nothing? Partial? Pay him everything and have the job redone? If I just have it redone by someone else, how toI make sure the next guy knows what he is doing??
I searched the site, but cannot for the life of me figure out how to attach photos. I know they are critical. Thanks in advance.
