Shoddy builders!!
I ripped up all the tiles in my bathroon today to find out the shoddy builders grip filled all the floor tiles and the splash back!!!!
I can't beleive it, it was something like off of rouge traders.

Re: Shoddy builders!!
How did you allow that to happen? Did you check previous work and speak with customers that they had worked for? Did you take the cheapest price? There is no way that would happen to me because I would watch them like a hawk.
Why did you have builders tiling if you are a tiler?
I dont get it.........

I am a new tiler, thats why I'm doing it myself now.
I had a lot of work done from them and had trouble all the way through. This was the last job, They finished it when I was at work.
The grout was always cracking. Yeah they were cheap, but not in the long run.

I think they was just rushing to get off the job, use anything they had in the van.
