Advice Needed - Is this Acceptable? - Tile Advice

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..

I think you are looking at it wrong.

Look at this @Andy Allen

 

[Bill]

I should add that the cut edge will now be against the tile trim.

Not the way I would do it, but each to there own......

But in this case it is the only way the joints would line up.

 

[Bill]

Tell me another way without reconfiguring the wall tiles.

 

[Andy Allen]

That's my other way.......reconfiguring the tiles on the right hand wall .....like I already said....

 

[Flintstone]

But we can’t see what’s on the other wall!

 

[Bill]

Left hand?

A lot of opinions here, from 2 very vague photos and even less information as to what the actual issue is.
The tiling looks of a good quality, from what I can see.

Are we looking for reasons to perhaps not pay someone?
