Trim Around Window Frame - TilersForums.com

[Dee Griffiths]

Not sure what I was doing I'm new to the forum and it wouldn't let me on the forum unless I put options on so just put 1 & 2 lol

No, it's not right, he should have started again and set it out correctly, does not sound like he set out at all.

Usually you would find the centre of the window and set out to get the same pattern at the window edges.

I am.just tiling my windows now, the bottom tiles should go past the sill so that the trim and silver tiles meet up. Or sill tiles past depending on trim used and orientation .

He finished it today except for the shower and grouting he's not a very happy man at the best of times, what should I ask him to do take them all off!! As all the rest won't measure up if he goes past the sill

the work looks okay apart from the sill

You are the customer and you are paying, so it's up to you really, if you are not happy then you have to tell him what you want, I don't know how he is going to finish the window side reveals either? That will need some sort of trim too.

I am not a professional tiler, but if this was mine and I was paying for it, I would have chucked him out without paying. That's not a professional job in my opinion.

But as I say I am not a tiler, I just do my own diy jobs, but looks like I could do better than him.

It looks like he's either worked from the top of the bath or from the floor up and realised when he got to the sill that he'd dropped one. What's the cut size at the top of the window and at ceiling level if you could post a pic

Yes, but the sill is what everyone will see.

He started from along the top of the bath

Thank you I wish I was as brave as you to say something, it cost £600 for the labour and I must admit everywhere looks okay to me as I'm not a tiler myself. But he was a so called profession and should have done a boss Job. Thank you for the reply

 

[Dee Griffiths]

I can't quite work out what's going on from the pics, is it a kitchen or bathroom walls? It looks like the tiles on the face of the wall have been set out too low, a pic from further back would help.

Hi thank you for the reply it's my bathroom and I've added a picture

 

[Dee Griffiths]

a nice piece of 20/30mm thick stone or quartz would sort out the problem

Thanks for the reply but I'm Not sure what is a 20/30 thick stone or quartz is and would the tiler be able to replace it before he grouts or is it too late as all the tiles are in place around the window

Thanks for the reply how can this be fixed? he is back tomorrow to grout it all and I would like to mention it to him how I want it fixing! Thanks

you are deluded

Why am I deluded? If I had paid good money for a job I expect it to be done correctly, this is not done correctly, so I would say fix it correctly or go away.
