Hello,
We are close to the handover stage, and after several on-site discussions, the tiling work has been completed. In the guest bathroom and utility room, everything is acceptable except for minor issues. However, from our perspective, the other bathroom is a disaster. They had to start over three times due to errors, and eventually, they knocked down the entire bathroom in one day. First, the wrong tiles were installed, then the tile offset was not respected, and now this. Tomorrow, I have a meeting with the head of the tilers and our construction manager. Unfortunately, I’m not sure what I have to accept and what I shouldn’t. So, a few extra opinions would be very helpful...
On the third attempt, everything was grouted, and the supervisor instructed the team that silicone should be applied between the tiles and the bathtub, for example. Instead of removing the tiles or taking other proper measures, they used a grinder. There are still residues from grouting visible in some places.
By the way, these are far from all the problem areas….

"When craftsmanship comes to an end, silicone brings a quick fix."
There was a botcher at work. This is the result when anyone is allowed to offer a trade without having a master craftsman certificate.
It looks very much like Eastern European work to me.
The only option here is really: remove everything and start over.

Had a successful meeting with everyone today. Neither of them would want it that way in their own homes, and everything will be corrected. However, the same colleague as before will be coming. Hopefully this time not under stress and not doing the same work as in the two previous rooms.
