Worst bathroom tiling job ever seen - Tile Advice

[Robbie1983]

Thanks for taking the time to look at this post. I've used this forum many times in the past, but never posted. Hopefully this is in the right place!

The reason for this first post... Complete disappointment at how badly my parents bathroom fitout has been finished.

I'm absolutely gutted for my parents as this is the first time they've ever spent any amount of money like this to have a job properly done and I don't think they'll ever do it again.

The job was meant to take 2 weeks and it's now been 4 weeks and it's still not finished. Apparently they've said they'll put right anything my parents are unhappy about, but I can't see how that's possible without ripping it all out and starting again - with someone that can actually tile.

Any advice as to what they should do would be greatly appreciated. Do you agree that this is a bad job? Do you think it would be unreasonable for them to withhold payment or ask for it to be ripped out. I'd be reluctant to use the same people again.

 

[On one]

Maybe not the worst tiling I have ever seen,but hard to see how it can be improved without starting again.

Was it a professional tiler or was it one guy or two guys doing everything?

Yes l do agree, that is a bad,! Job. I would not be happy having to pay for that. A considerable amount of remedial work is required to put it right.

Maybe not the worst. Initially it looks ok, until you start to look at the detail. Perhaps I've over reacted a little, but I was just so gutted for my parents.

I'm not entirely sure. I'll find out.

Surely not a professional tiler, leaving a job like that.

That is terrible job. The rouge tiler should give up this type of tiling. Bad bad

For starters ...... finish round window, trim used at bottom but squint, then sides and top no trim and should have been trim or tiles mitred. L shaped cuts cut short and filled in with grout, walls and floor. Finish around upvc window thick and not cleaned off well. Finish to ceiling thick and not finished off well. Grout not been cleaned off well. Chips in tiles where been cut. For starters

Also is that a new shower as suspect shower is old as you can see the chrome has worn off and now see the brass?

Thanks everyone for taking the time to look at this and replying. I suspect it wasn't a professional tiler. More like a plumber who thought they could tile. If my parents had asked me, I would have suggested a different trades person for each of the jobs.
