ᐅ Is the wall tile properly installed around the toilet flush?

Hello dear forum community,

I am about to carry out the final inspection of our new build and have recently visited the construction site.

I noticed something concerning the tiles in the bathroom, but I am a complete layperson. Overall, the work is well done, but in my untrained opinion, the solution for the toilet flush area is not ideal or has failed. Since I have no knowledge in this field, I would appreciate some feedback before I address this with the builder.

I have attached a photo. You can see that the tile(s) have been cut into small pieces. Is there a better way to solve this?

Many thanks to the experts in the group.

That could definitely have been handled more elegantly. Certainly a minor reason to be annoyed, but probably not enough to warrant a corrective action. It just fades from view 😉

Would you not include this in the inspection report?

The lower section is already problematic. But in the upper section, you can also clearly see that the opening was cut too deep. The cuts are clearly visible there.

In practice, the builder simply installs a larger flush button, and that’s that. It can happen.

Okay, I understand. But it still needs to be corrected...

Yes, with a larger lever handle. That will eliminate the cut being too deep and also cover the patchwork. There is definitely a larger set that you might prefer.
