    Default Another nightmare

    Heres a few pics of a bathroom that i got asked to look at today. Walls not primed,not needed said the lady tiler to the customer, tub says prime with suitable primer. tanking 1 thin coat, that just peeled off when rubbed with my thumb, pulled the 330 x 250mm tiles off by hand (they have been up for 7 days), and about a inch between some tiles and the wall due to dot and dabbing, with tubbed addy, little cuts above the door, some are cracked. I'm going to put it right in a few weeks time.

    Fortunately she didn't finish, but got part payment, but the customer is now going to ask for a refund.

    The cuts above the door are horrible

    Can we have a name and shame section for dodgy tilers? or would we be risking been taken to court

    The cut by the ceiling would have been nasty too, far too small that close to the ceiling.

    Was going to say she did well doing that slim check above the door, but on closer inspection, it's been split.
