Watched it tonight, thought they would make sure who they were using as their EXPERTS, even I spotted the spot fixing and new it was wrong. ( have yet to do my tiling course so I guess there's hope for me) lol

[Uheat]

I suppose on a positive note, all the time they keep doing it like that it will be creating work for somebody in the future to rectify!

Have just updated the thread that I started in tandem with this post. I have sent the following e mail to the builder..........just waiting for a response now....will keep you all informed.
" I write in reference to this week’s program from Taunton and more specifically the tiling method employed when doing the bathroom.
The program showed your tiler using a ‘Dot and Dab’ method for the fixing of the wall tiles.
Any professional tiler would tell you that this method in the trade is considered to be a method employed by the novice or the cowboy and is not a recognised fixing method as it can lead to a multitude of problems, especially in a wet environment.
I understand the restraints put on an individual whilst being in front of a camera, having had the experience myself, however as the title of the program suggests, that it is produced to highlight the failings of ‘Cowboy Builders’, how can you justify using ‘Cowboy Techniques’ in putting right the errors of others and misleading Joe Public in believing that this is an acceptable method of tile installation?

I look forward to your comments.
