Strangely if someone quotes the post before the price has been taken out it still shows in the quoted text. So if you want to know it's there to be seen...

Lads calm down.

We're discussing a cut tile not the end of the world.

PM the OP if you want to know the price, that's fine if they're happy with it. But it's not really going to justify the cut even if it was the whole job for 50p.
Agreed if someone's says they can do it for a price they should be held accountable for good quality work if they can't do it for that price or if they just can't do it maybe they wouldn't go around quoting cheap prices ( sorry don't know cost of this job and sorry for going of topic a bit )

Thanks to all of you for all your valuable opinions and advice. It is very much appreciated.

We were completely ready to eat humble pie, accept the level of quality and put it down to experience had we learned we had paid well below par and received only what we paid for. However, we are relieved to have learned, thanks to your kind insight, that we were justified to expect a certain of quality given what we are being expected to pay.

It's also a great relief to hear that there is a bare minimum that you all feel should be expected regardless of cost, and that our expectations are well in line with this. We never expect perfection at any price, but we also don't expect a finish like that! It's good to know a clean cut is not too much to ask, that it's fair to expect tiles to be in line with each other, and that our dissatisfaction was reasonable. We don't want to fobbed off, but don't want to be unfair either.

Thanks again for all the great advice and insight.

are the cuts acceptable?....most certainly not, regardless of price paid. There's no need to use an angle grinder for the L shaped edges anyway, score the edges with hand cutter then use an angle grinder to cut into the corner from the waste edge and just snap them out with your cutter.
