ᐅ Tiling work to be complained about?

Created on: 13 Oct 2019 11:08

Hello,
after the tiling work was completed, we walked through the house and were a bit surprised by some issues.
Now we are not sure if we are just being picky or if the work was really done carelessly. Are these defects fixable and should they be raised with the tiler?

These corner cubes are mostly installed at an angle.

One rail in the photos is also slightly twisted. The grout joints are not parallel in a few places.

And in the last photo, isn’t an internal corner supposed to be mitered?

Regarding our site manager: "You chose tiles and moldings that incur additional costs and therefore are technically no longer our responsibility!"
However, he did suggest to the tiler to fix one or two defects.

So, the final inspection of the house is done. Beforehand, the tiler had acknowledged some defects or unsightly spots himself and usually corrected them.

The building inspector also approved the tiling work during the house inspection.
His statement: It is a craft with a wide tolerance range in favor of the tradesperson.
But after the corrections, it turned out to be a good and solid job.
