    It amazes me how customers just let the tiler get away with a job like that. You dont need to be a tiler to know thats pretty poor.

    no liz customer isnt happy at all i have recommended that they get the tiler back in and discuss it as it will cost alot to replace (tiles were around £90.00 sqm)

    I can't believe they left the money with a family member, the trust has just blown out the window for another customer

    Shocking, unforuneatly people do get away with this standard and it really gets my goat. I take great pride of making a good job and a lot of people just dont care but still seem to get the work

    Tiling - shocking!!

    The plumber was also a cowboy, strangley he's gone to the trouble of using a quality McAlpline pan connector but he's tiled it in!

    What happends if the toilet need to be taken out 5 years down the line? You will need to use the same pan connector otherwise it would mean talking floor tiles up, the pan connector should always be swapped as well.

    I hate working in bathrooms that have been fitted by cowboys.
