Tiler rushing to get to another bodge job or doesnt have the skill in the first place. I bet he boasts about how fast he can tile a bathroom.

Bathroom fitter who contracted to someone who wasn't qualified - that's bad for this customer.

Not a great result, (have seen worse) depends on your expectation and what you perseve to be acceptable,at the end of the day. ( some people would be happy with this result ,others not so ).

No one should have to accept this standard of work.

I think the op probably gets the idea now do we need to keep rubbing salt

It’s not rubbing salt in my view.
Many members are reading this thread and everyone is allowed an opinion.
Perhaps it would be easier to put up a poll asking is it acceptable / or not!

Its not good, very far from perfection, which is what you should be expecting. But its certainly not the worst we've seen here.
Its the fine details he's struggled with, I'd expect that he's a half-decent site tiler, but lacking that extra bit of attention to detail needed on a higher-spec domestic.

Should really have been spotted before it got to the finishing stages though, as now its a bigger job to replace the dodgy bits

some customers, could they accept this job?
who are these customers?
I do not understand,
the usual habit of making clear grouting
with non-calibrated dark tiles,
the mosaic in marble, best to avoid talking.
just seeing the first photos, I have no client
who would accept this work.
and I'm sure.

Terrible tiling and , what look to be, terrible tiles.
Are they British Ceramic tiles or B&Q or similar?

As has been mentioned previously poor tiling. If I was to fix that job I would insist on stripping it out and starting again.

The main contractor you hired is responsible for this, as it was him who sub contracted the tiling out. If he does or doesn't get money from the previous tiler or has paid him is not your problem.


Best of luck with it and I hope you get a good outcome.
