Misscvsworn Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 MJ Heating & Plumbing Services (Postcode SE27) there are a couple of others in London, so not to get confused.The main man goes by the name of Jerry or Bruce and brings in his team to do plumbing, tiling, grouting, building works and sealant etc. But... he charges a lot of money for a very poor job. Pictures attached are the finished job (and a cement covered kitchen floor). When we said we weren't going to pay a portion of the remaining money to him, he gave us a couple of excuses as to why he couldn't get our keys back to us, which left me feeling slightly worried and vulnerable. He finished the job less than week ago after us giving him chance to rectify the poor quality, and we are now left with cracking grout, a very poor sealant job and a leaking sink...Unfortunately, we have been left to clear up his mess (literally) and he has taken ?5k for the pleasure! Any plumbers and good tillers who are willing to fix this for us, please get in touch. More pics to follow. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misscvsworn Posted July 27, 2016 Author Share Posted July 27, 2016 Forgot to mention the cracked tile... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nic32 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I agree that the tiling is atrocious. The man has not applied the basic principles required which clearly has resulted in ridiculous slithers on the corners of walls and tiles cut to fit in the middle of runs. It is not easy to tile unless walls are true and shouldn't be attempted unless they are. I would say that to remedy your problem would be to start a fresh. To give a proper assessment I would need to have a closer look.Please feel free to get in touch.Nic 07941651362 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misscvsworn Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 Thanks Nic, could you not set the bath, sink and toilet aside and re-tile over the top either with same tiles or bigger to make the job easier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyBox Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 That looks like the sort of tiling job I would do! I suspect your choice of grout colour makes the poor quality a lot more noticeable but that's no excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misscvsworn Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 Thanks Dirtybox.. Im not sure what your profession is so afraid I cant comment however, we weren't sent pictures of the chosen grout (we were on holiday when it was discussed and decided) and therefore is much darker than we wanted.. Another big learning curve for us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
searly1983 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Hi, I know exactly who your talking about, I recognise the bathroom as he called me to come and fix it, I refused to touch it as it was such a bad job. It needs a full redo, tiling over is a possibility. Did you manage to get it sorted?if not I could come and take a look and advise.
