Advice please on quality of professional work

[alankd]

Hi,
Had a bathroom re-fitted and need advice on the quality of workmanship of tiling.
Professional tiler who was supplied by the bathroom fitter did a great job on the wall, but came back and seemed to rush the floor job. the floor is on marmox boards then electric under floor heating.
I'm not happy with the job lots of uneven grout joints and walking on the floor without shoes on you can feel the uneven levels between tiles, the fitter has said he will deduct the cost of laying flooring from bill, but i feel it now distracts from the overall quality of the room.
Advice needed on what I should do now, am I being to critical or is the standard acceptable?

Hi Alan, welcome to the forum.

You are not being over critical at all, that floor needs sorting out because its not acceptable IMO. Have you paid already? If not then dont, get them to fix it.

[Sir Ramic]

You are not being over critical and the fixer has already admitetd fault by deducting the floor price but then that leaves you to sort it out. If you have electric UFH then that could be a big issue to remove the floor tiles and replace them. You then have the cost of removing radiators to get a better finish around the pipes.

Picture 3 is the worst one although they are all bad.

[Dontiler]

Looks bad, especially black tiles with Grey grout shows all the details

Thats rubbish Get him to redo it. Are you sure it was the tiler who did the floor as well?

[Colour Republic]

If that's the quality of the floor I can't see how they made a good job of the walls

Which means either it was done by a different person or they really didn't care when it came to the floor.

I would hazard a guess that the bathroom fitter is happy to deduct the cost of the floor as he is aware that rectifying the floor tiling will be more than the sum deducted due to the under floor heating. You may have some saving grace if the marmox was laid on top of the UFH

UFH would not work if the boards are on top, you got a hazy head today Rob??

Hi Alan..

I think it would be wise just to sit down with your bathroom installer and express your concerns.
Make a list of what you are not happy with and then come to an agreement of how to rectify it..

Good luck and let us know how you get on..

[Colour Republic]

ahh I read it that the marmox was on top meaning they can rip the the whole thing up without damaging the UFH, not saying that's how it should be done

[Colour Republic]

saying that, it can't be the case as how the hell would you fix the boards and miss the UFH? whoops i'm going back to bed

Night night!

[Ken Bruty]

That's not nice, I would definitely want that floor completely replacing, especially if you paid a lot for it, as I imagine you would have done for fitting those tiles.

I agree with the above but if you havent paid them all ready then I would with hold the payment until it is rectified.

[mikethetile]

that floor is unacceptable, I concur with the others, have them rectify the job as there is more cost than the tiling involved here

[redmist6]

Angle Gringer for the cuts i suspect....

[nybor62]

thats rubbish and that cut around pipe he,s obviously done that with a grinder which aint a problem but why so big then to fix it and leave it .and then to lower price is admitting he has done a bad job. get him back to sort it

[nybor62]

snap

[jay]

what a mess dont pay until its sorted any chance of some pics of wall tiling just to be sure

[simon1]

That is NOT an acceptable job, i agree with all above comments

get the whole lot ripped out and re done at the builders exspence as he was the one who reccommended the "tiler" (not sure he was)

[dptiling]

shocking ...

[TT Tiling]

[alankd]
