Thanks again for the comments. Here are some links to pictures of the bathroom prior to repair or grouting...

I live in High Wycombe, Bucks if anyone knows a decent tiler, I would appreciate the contact details.

I wouldn't blame the tiler for the tiles. I purchased them. However, I would have expected anyone with half decent eyesight to notice the difference in colour post grouting. And notice the slanted tiles which he eventually replaced. He didn't notice the mosaics not aligning or being flat against the wall and many more problems as well. I think the pictures may show some of these. He did replace one wall and some tiles around the window that were sticking out, and re-did the mosaics at least twice. So I guess he has tried, but maybe not experienced or careful.

P.S. I will add the post grout pictures tomorrow.

Thanks again.

Did you find the tiler at the blind institute by any chance ?
