Misscvsworn Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 A local plumber and his team have been working on our bathroom for a full refit and renovation. However wanted people's opinions as I could be OTT in thinking this is a shoddy job. The Plumber doesn't seem to think so and is charging a large amount of money for this job. Please see photos and we welcome your thoughts be it positive or negative. The photos include sealant around taps, a tile against the bath that has been grouted, corking around the ceiling (more a sealant that I now can't get off the tiles) floor grout inconsistent. Is this normal for a full bathroom refit?? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/115581-opinions-required/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

no job to big Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Hi I'm a local builder and I can tell you that's a really bad job you should refuse to pay them Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/115581-opinions-required/#findComment-1026034 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbbieP Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Ugh, so ugly! Why in the world would you put a dark sealant against white tiles? It works only if your bathroom is super modern and amazing. It also looks quite sloppy, especially the last photo. I don't think you should pay in full.

sheff Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 That is shocking!I wouldn't even pay for any of it, and have them rectify at their own cost. I wouldn't accept a lower charge either.Tiling, bathrooms, grout... Its one of those things that you look at every day and will get annoyed about (at least I would!)

Mark Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Shoddy work, if it's not too late withhold payment until it's rectified. Please tell us who they are.

handymaneast dulwich Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I have to agree with the above comments, this is by far the worse i have seen and i have been in the trade for 30 years Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/115581-opinions-required/#findComment-1026094 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DulwichFox Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Dreadful workmanship.. Name and shame is justifiable. If they are proud of their work, then the pics will be doing them favour.

dumpertruck Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Very poor workmanship - appalling, in fact. I'd be ashamed if I'd done that in a DIY sense, so for a professional to have presented that to you as a finished piece of work... well. The mind boggles.

edcam Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Terrible. You should definitely get them to find someone competent to redo the work properly before paying them.

Misscvsworn Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 Thank you all for your comments, as I was only allowed to post 3 pictures this is just half of the problems. Chipped tiles, grouting inconsistent and holes in grout, I could go on. I will take advice and once the payment conversations have taken place, I will leave a review on here of the company and give full details.
