Hi there everyone,
I was a bit bored so I though I’d take some pictures of our bathroom tiles and bedroom doors to show you how bad they are.
The tiler is supposed to be a professional with years upon years of experience in the field. However, I think the images tell us something else lol:
Unaligned Joints And Awful Grouting - Just looks dreadful.
Smudged Sealant - He certainly ‘put his foot in it’ here… erm, oops I meant ‘finger’.
No Ply Base - Reboarding the entire wall with ply would have been essential here.
More Unaligned Joints
Grout On Door Frame2 - No excuse for this!
Disguising The Edges - After the tiler had finished the job and left, my Mum had to stick on mosaic strips to conceal the jagged edges.
Visible Spacers - Still looks like ‘work in progress’.
Here are the doors that were fitted with pathetic mistakes made along the way:
Chipped Paint Work And No Recess - Looks like an axe was used here. No wonder he didn’t bother making the recess for the striker.
Chiselled Key Hole Without Escutcheon - Obviously the battery must have died in his cordless drill.
Bad Chiselling - Looks like a kitchen knife was used here.
Covered Key Hole - The hole on the other side of the door was used as a peepy hole so I had to make a tissue escutcheon lol.
Excessive Jamb - The doors were the wrong size here.
Excessive Jambs And Door Closures - I’ve never seen so many closures and jambs!
Filled Gap And Nail Holes - This one cracks me up lol! See the 2 nail holes at the top? He fitted the old handle here (wasn’t even the new handle!) and used nails, not screws! Also, he didn’t even put it in the middle of the middle rail, but way above! So, when my Mum told him to move it more inline with the rail, he moved it to its new position as shown below!
Wrong Handle Position - Oh dear.
Wrong Hinge Size - Cupboard hinges don’t seem ideal here.
Unnecessary New Hinge Position - Why wasn’t the hinge put in the original hinge position?!
No Striker Plate
2 Strikers - You’ve got one, but I've got 2! However, in this case, I would rather just have 1 like everyone else
.
Lock On Outside Of Door - Why would we want to lock someone inside the toilet? LOL
Huge Gap Under Door - Good way to save electricity: The light from the other room lights up this room!
Huge Gap Under Door2 - I guess if someone was locked in, you could slide them a takeaway through.
What do you think? Would you hire these professionals?

. If I was you, i'd take those doors off and skip them. I couldn't live with doors that looked this bad.
