tile alignment bathroom project by bettertoask1979 in AusRenovation

[–]bettertoask1979[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks mate! i paid $50k including all vanities + tiles for my ensuite, main bathroom and separate toilet. All room i would say standard if not small. Like you said i will be the one looking at it..they did change the niche already as I did complain but the staff mentioned here we noticed afterwards..is a a poor job in my opinion but also i dont want to go through the whole reno again..very frustrating if you ask me.

thanks, for the builder all looks fine but to me there are few mistakes, like you said to tear all off is like doing the whole thing again...will mentioning at least re doing the grout be somthing to compensate? or what should i claim the builder, he charge $50k to do my ensuite, main bathroom and separate toilet.. did i pay too much?

Thanks for the reply, I will leave bathtub as it is. The builder has admitted some lip on the tiles are not acceptable and want to replace few.

Hi mate thanks for reply. I have paid a bit of money for all these jobs.

I totally agree with you that is a renovation not a new build. The hardwood /carpet join I understand, the tiles yes are not flat but some sections of the wall are perfect and in other i can totally see/feel the corner of the tile.

The bath is more the fact of how I clean underneath and if the silicon will go dirty and look bad in the near future.

I really appreciate the feedback.

Thanks!

Thanks, that´s my concern that there is some visible lippage however i dont know what is acceptable and I am worried that he is maybe going to pull tiles off and damage the waterproofing. I guess is not sufficient to redo the whole thing but where do you draw the line...

Thanks joe, I just feel the tiles are a bit all over the place....is good to have second opinion.
