Hello,

We were completely shocked when we entered our newly tiled bathroom. The tiler installed the wall tiles and grout lines in the shower unevenly in relation to the floor tiles. The problem is: we never received a tile layout plan beforehand, nor did he ask us how we wanted it done. Now we are very disappointed and absolutely don’t like how it looks! Is our only option to have the tiles removed, have it redone, and pay twice as much?

Is there a photo of it so we don't have to imagine it entirely?

So, were the tiles even suitable in terms of size? For example, in my bathroom, I have 60x30cm (24x12 inches) tiles and also a sample tile measuring 33x60cm (13x24 inches). You definitely need to consider the layout before starting installation.

We used the same tiles on the wall and floor, measuring 60x60cm (24x24 inches).

Well, a bathroom layout showing the planned tile arrangement and installations (bathtub, etc.) with measurements would also be helpful. It seems the floor tiles are continuous throughout.
