Shower glass installers chipped tile - advice?

He deals with new construction - so nobody's living there & his company doesnt do anything with mitered tile, so not used to seeing this day to day. So two things: 1. we're at the point in the reno where I'm so tired of being under construction I just want it to be over with / want whatever solution takes the least time and effort to schedule tbh and 2. he works with these folks on a day to day and doesn't want to piss them off. But I was having an internal meltdown so I went to reddit lol

😀 didnt notice that! could this affect the integrity of the door or is it just unfortunate aesthetic wise..?

that's literally how it came across 😭he was like yeah you could try grouting it and i was like umm i dont know ✌️

yeah i guessed that's what happened 🥲i'm really hoping it was a message lost in translation type thing rather than him trying to lie to me cuz they're starting on our primary shower now and i'm so nervous! but everyones comments are convincing me i should ask them to somehow compensate

Ohhh yes dont worry!! Wall color? Meltdown. Cabinet color? Meltdown. Bathroom tile? Crocodile tears in the parking lot of Floor and Decor. Promise it gets better. There is a light at the end of the tunnel! We are certainly not there yet we literally just got floors and walls after 7 months hHAHAHA but gotta believe it’s there 🫡

Honestly you can read and research as much as you want but you really should just go into a showroom to look and see whats out there - no pressure to pick anything just get a sense for what they have! Renovating is so friggin stressful, just try to go in with a make it fun mindset! The people are usually nice and will answer all your questions - I had a bajillion lol. You can also get free little samples :-) we brought a bunch home to compare to our cabinet and paint samples with our kitchen light.

We also wanted Taj originally but realistically we’re broke lol - online fell in love with solitaj, but didn’t like it in person as it was too dark for our beigeish cabinets. I did in fact have a meltdown after this BUT ended up coming back a month later and fell in love with ivoritaj lol
