HALL of SHAME PHOTo`s

I hate tiling so very rarely undertake it. Yet I actually own a grout float. Turns out I should have been tipping the full bucket against the wall and letting gravity go to work, who new?

i no its not plumbing but how do people get away with this, they left the poor woman like this and also got paid half of the money. ??:32:

Some "bathroom fitter/tiler" from near me what a disgrace to say the least.

A one-armed blind man, missing has thumb and forefinger on his one and only hand, using a butter knife and scissors could have done better.
 
unbelievable expect the only way to clean them would be brick acid but who would use that indoors? only thing in my opinion would be to strip them all off and start again with new tiles a few hundred pounds wasted there..brum
 
I would want to take all that sanitary ware & dump it also. That shower tray must be ruined. I don't even dirty a shower tray & I clean it with a damp cloth & put a soft cover over it when I have to stand on it.
Strange thing about really serious jobs like that is the customers tend to be decent people who don't deserve it & wouldn't take the installer to court.
That is a great photo to show to people who are pricing around for someone to do their bathroom cheap.

I have would work a treat 25%?sprayed on them left for 2 hours and scrubbed off - will be perfect
 
No excuse for that pi$$ poor work, but where was the customer whilst this was happening? Anybody in there right mind would have put a stop to that.
 
That grouting's obviously been done by a guy in a straight jacket, its hard to know what I'm actually looking at. Its so bad it must be a wind up.

how not to fit a telescopic flue. Some knob ed fitted five like this on a new build job, good job it was spotted and changed.
 
It was a shocking install, boiler mounted on some sort of conti board approx 8 mm thick.
Unvented tank in the middle of loft on mdf base.
The 24i system boiler was wired in wth only a switched live, but had perm live taped up inside the boiler wiring centre.
It was installed by a large local company with a gr8 reputation.
I AR the installation and told the cust to inform gas safe

I'd consider IDing that if only one side of the boiler is hanging on the jig, myself.
