Has tiler made a mistake on this wall
Dear All
Trying to decide if its worth asking the tiler to reolace the 4 tiles (60×120) he has made a mistake which he tried to correct with sand paper and made it slightly worst. See 2nd picture.
Do you think its v hard job? Possible to do?

Yes if you have spare tiles or can get more from the same batch number. If not then you’d either had to live with slightly different coloured tiles or with it as it is. Personally I’d rather live with slightly different colour tiles. Now you’ve seen the mistake, you’ll never unsee it. It also isn’t the job/service you’ve paid for.

He is not a tiler !! My tiler would remove this without telling me, or he would cut his own hand off!

You have 3 options, 1 put double electric socket there, 2 put your toilet roll holder there or 3 get his blind lazy ass to do it properly.

Im a tiler, this is very poor.
Needs to take down and retile it.

The top of the tile is a factory edge not a cut so it is straight, the light makes the grout look like the tile is the issue. I think the tiling is fine other than the fact the the top right is more pronounced than the top left. If you look at the veey corner of the bottom right one it lines up perfectly. But the grouting is terrible. It has been too dry when it was applied. I would have the grout removed ASAP and redone. I dont see what you think he has tried to sort with sand paper?

I’m no tiler but as a customer that would annoy they heck out of me. At the end of the day, if you’re not happy with it, it needs to be rectified
-
I wouldn’t have used that one just for the pattern being on the corner as none of the others have that
-
Read the regs on tolerances on grout lines, it’s not ideal but would be within tollerance so if already paid you will need to pay again for choice rectification, but if not paid yet I’d just explain that you thought when you were paying a professional that you wouldn’t have such a stagger. A decent tradesman will understand and as your only as good as your last job!!! For self pride I’d change it.

I’d stick with it and avoid the hassle, it really doesn’t look that bad and nobody else will likely ever notice. Forget it and spend time enjoying life doing whatever that is.

Whilst not great, it may look worse than it actually is because the spot lights are hanging and one is highlighting the area, the grouting is a bit rough too.
If you are “certain” you are going to have them removed, I would say that he’d have literally one shot at correcting the alignment first with a high quality fine blade on an angle grinder (if he’s skilled enough), it might save the expense and inconvenience of ripping everything out which is likely going to take the substrate with it.
If it worked, and you’d be very lucky, re-grout smoothly.

Cheap thin big format tile ….. How to on probably 6 inches of tile you have 2 levels ….. The corners of tiles live their own life and have a bow in them…. Good tile is thick rectified tile 80-140 per square meter should be checked by the tiler before laying …… The grout lines by the ceiling is that 2nd phase grouting??? The foil above the bath is what’s that for ….. New type of shower screen….. I’m just wondering if it is one of those super professional tilers for toast and butter price?

I’m not a pro tiler, but I would never be happy with that job. It looks a bit of a mess to me! He obviously hasn’t considered the design/ pattern on the tiles or planned it properly and his tiling skills are questionable imho.

I’m no tiler, but that’s rubbish. Is he a ‘diyer’ or is this his profession?
