Please checkout the following advertisement.
So I'm looking to get a bathroom fitter to do my ensuite.
One of his previous customers sent a few photos of a bathroom he did for them. All were out of focus except the one below.

Am I being over critical in saying the tiles don't look evenly spaced ?

Have you advertised the job on here?

No I haven't.

Ideally I want a company / person which has experience doing wet rooms. It's hard to find someone who has positive reviews for this as well as tilling.

Perhaps I will advertise on here for a tiler (I didn't know I could to be honest) and ask the bathroom fitter to work with them.

From that photo, avoid that that chap.
You need to find a tiler first and foremost who’s good and clued up, and he will be able to suggest a good plumber who knows what he’s doing, that’s what I would advise! I’m sure there’s somebody on here who can help. What tiles have you chosen ?

The bathroom fitter has emailed me to say:
Not all tiles are equal in size and they are not all flat (only stone can be 100% the same size, but still not guaranteed). Depending on the size, type they can differ in size 0-2mm for porcelain tiles and with 2mm spacers even 0.5mm will be visible.

(I'm paraphrasing slightly as I don't want to copy the original text here)
Here then posted links to these sights:

Stone 100% Lol. Try Basalt ! Put a level on a Granite top and look under it, not always flat. Uncle Rays tiles 99.999999% same size.
