It must be really hard to tile that badly. Love the pipe clips, at least they put some anti-water hammer packing in!

I can't believe anyone would actually pay a contractor for such shoddy work, but i assume the client must have been either blind or felt unable to question the work.

She threw him off the job as it was done while she was at work and only saw it after it was too late.


He also did use tiles spacers but only on their edges between the tiles,it never occurred to him that they have nice 90 degree angles in a cross shape for reason.

The trouble is the customer doesn't know what he's going to get until the job is done, and after that it's too late..
Always need to take only recommended tradesmen.

Trouble is that some customers don't even bother looking at what is being done until it is too late.

Just ripping out a brand new installed bathroom at the moment and doing it properly. Clients didn't even see what was going on until he was completely finished, FFS.

You think that tiling is bad....see what was on my job and the plastering, studwork overboarded in hardboard then plastered then tiled. Thats just the tip of the iceberg. Oh, yeah plus he caused three floods.
