Re: Hall of shame....

I will try and get some pics tomorrow but a new 'fixer' on site is less than crap, he was shown the job in the bathroom of a plot, 600 x 300mm polished porcelain above the bath, 3 walls with a 40mm mosaic, my little Bro ( Charlie ) is foreman fixer on the site and went to see how they were getting on, they ( fixer and his labourer ) had gone, what they left was a horror story gone wrong. As I said, I'll try and get some pics tomorrow but imagine joints from a half mm to 4mm and lips you could rest a cuppa on. They have been told by the contracts manager to be onsite tomorrow for a talk about quality.................... will let you know how it goes

Did they do a runner 'cos they knew it was bad? or just knocked off early?

By the why i'd like to put my team 'Liverpool FC' in the hall of shame for drawing 2-2 with Brimingham today

Well I think it was because they knew how bad it was, setting out vertically was sooooooooooo bad.

Re: Hall of shame....

looks like the tiler has followed the run of the wall on that one.

Re: Hall of shame....

Bad but not really the tilers fault, even more so on a commercial job where it is not always in your remit (or budget) to fix the substrate. Have they ok'd with you the extras to sort out the walls?

EDIT: On second glance it would appear that the floor has dips and hollows which considering the choice of tile would suggest that it gets washed down a fair amount and this wouldn't help, that for me would be a bigger problem than the walls
