Advice Needed - Is this Acceptable? - TilersForums.com

[John Benton]

Looks way over the top. I’m sure it’s acceptable for a commercial staircase or some toilets in a restaurant but not in someone’s bathroom.

It depends on the gap left between the tiles. If its a big one like we have seen before then it may need a bead that wide.

As for the op’s question the answer is no not acceptable to not have the joints aligned if same tile and size.

It is if your room isn't square!

Thanks for all your feedback. Here are two more pictures. Some of the other joints also don’t look great.

As the tiles are oblong they will only line up one way...

If that's a grout joint by the trim (can't quite make it out).......then it should of been a full tile length to the corner ...

Judging by what can be seen from the pics it looks like badly aligned tiles.

The first photo you posted - the tile joint is off set because the tiler started with a full tile from the tile trim on the flat surface (hidden cistern?) which is common practice but the tiler could have put a cut in to line up the joint.

The other joints don't look too bad but those joints could be like that because the tiles may well be different sizes - another common problem. If this is the case then it is impossible to have perfect joint alignment.

There are far, far worse tiling jobs - in fact this is probably an 8.75 out of 10.

Imo that would look weirded, 2 small cuts next to a full tile...
Unless I'm looking at it wrong...

Just re -read everything......I was referring to making the best of what was there.

But yes the whole wall to the left could of been worked out to line up the joint.

Which is what I think tom was on about...

I don't know, it's been a long day..
