Help!: Floor Has Tile Lippage, Wall Tiles Going Up In The Morning! Help Please!

[actionjackson]

It does, could you answer my above post regarding floor prep. I dont want you to go through all that and then the floor fail in 3 months time anyway.

This is so horrid to see and it boils our blood that people like this are still trading. There are amazingly good tilers out there but they are outnumbered by these bloody idiots Im afraid.

Prep completed by myself and very good retired carpenter/cabinet maker.

18mm T&G on joists screwed 200mm centres
overboarded with 15mm plywood 200mm centres
Marmox acoustic tile backerboards (brand new product)
Electric UFH mat
6mm SLC (my father did this as he specialises in resin driveways so is very good with leveling compounds)

Whats the name of those tiles?

I laid them on a job last year, they are good to work with.

No excuses from the "Tiler" i use that phrase in the loosest of terms.

Is this fair??

Yes that sounds more than fair

good luck

Personally I wouldn't, give him the full price of the job just to put the floor right. I don't think he'd be capable of putting it right otherwise he'd have done it right in the first place. You would be better off spending the money on someone who knows what they are doing IMO. Whatever you decide, good luck with getting this sorted

[jay]

Thought we were just talking full price on the floor only

[peteablard]

I think I might have read it wrong Jay, It's early and I'm still half asleep zzzzzzzzzzzz

If i laid and left a floor in that state i wouldn't want paying i would be to embarrassed to ask.There is no reason why they should not be perfect.

[widler]

a level has been nowhere near that floor! he has just stuck them down!! See this brings me to another point, some so called tilers think because they can mix some adhesive, comb it on the floor, stck i a tile to it then it makes them a tiler!! what the hell happened to using levels, taking some pride! seeing the look on the customers face when you achieve your nearest attempt at perfection??? I would not sleep if i done that work with such a nice tile!! :-(((((

the floor is bad,totally agree.
using levels on some jobs is impossible,as a straight edge,to get the floor flat is fine,but level,as said before no chance.
i have been on jobs where if you level a floor there would be a 6" step at the door,if every floor was flat and level the world would be a better place .
ps,if you mean using a level to get a floor flat not level,ignore me

pps,im certainly not sticking up for this 'tiler',a young lad who works for me would of done a better job,in fact,he would of had too or he would be on the dole

oh and to the thread starter DO NOT PAY HIM A PENNY

[andy allen]

not a very good job at all, however, do the right thing and give him the chance to put the floor right, if he succeeds in doing this then i would pay him an agreed sum for the floor ONLY, then tell him his services are no longer required for the rest of the contract.


any money needed to put the floor right should be paid for by him, as he is correcting his own mistakes...

I will wait to here what his reaction is to you voicing your concerns.

Job posted on here but no responses!

I remember seeing something but can't find it in 'looking for a tiler' section, so it must have been in one of your posts. Thought it had a number of views and assumed you'd got sorted.
It's so very disappointing when the work is not to the standard you requested and it certainly leaves a difficult situation to be resolved. No doubt by now 10-00am you've had your tiler round and a decision has been made. Hopefully it is amicable and you will be looking for a new start. Good luck and you can always PM tilers local to you for costings and see their work on their albums in Tilers Forum.
