Public Thread!: Poor Tiling Workmanship by DIY and Rogue Traders - Tile Advice

[Dim MiM]

Recently, Our tiler went to a job where the couple were tring to save money by diy. The results were they had used grout as adhesive, adhesive as as grout, the tiles were upside down(patten) it was rather funny and cost quite alot to replaceas they had hand made, hand painted tiles with a set design of a tree. Goes to show, better to pay the pro than have a goe yourself

Went out for a couple of beers last night, there's a new cider bar opened. Very nicely refurbished place, until you get to the toilets, I quite literally laughed out loud!

I reckon that tiler was having to much cider.

I had that recently, idiot must have run out of adhesive as last 20 tiles were stuck on with white silicone (all tile on tile). Took a lot of time and effort to get off :incazzato:

Clearly the owner has had a go at tiling, can you imagine the mess he would have been in lol

 

[John Benton]

The tilings great, it's just the walls that are a bit out :smilewinkgrin:

 

[Jeff the tiler]

Perhaps the tilers got to the bar first before starting????

Had this on a job a wee while back this is a small part of a very poorly tiled bathroom. Literally pulled the tiles off by hand
