Concerns with my Tiler's job. With Pictures

Merbsy · Dec 04, 2023 8:12 pm

Hi Everyone,

I've just had new floor tiles installed in my bathroom.
As seen in the attached picture, the tiles (300x600) have been cut to accommodate a fall into the floor drain. I'm wondering if there's a better way the tiler could have installed these to be more aesthetically pleasing.

I've also noticed some issues with tile lippage, particularly in the image marked with a blue arrow where the tiles are unevenly positioned under the aluminum floor trim.

The installation was performed today, and the tiler will return Wednesday to continue the work.
Keen to hear any advice you might have for me.
Thank you.

Nicole

can you post a floor plan, unusual place for a floor waste, also unusual to cut tiles to drain to a general floor waste, normal for a shower waste however.

that waste just provides overflow protection so normally easier to just provide a lip at the door.

Did he use tile clips to control lippage?

Hi Pulse, thank you for the reply.

Attached is the floor plan.
Not sure about the tile leveling clips, there were only spacers in there when I went to inspect the job after I finished work.

Regards,

there is a tolerance for lippage. in the photo it looks pretty standard to me.

Floor waste is not shown on plan and when toilet pan is installed it will go over the drain.
Have you got better plans, elevations, engineering drawings, waste set out plans?

I believe it going to be a wall hanging toilet, so should be ok ?

Regardless of wall hung toilet or floor pan toilet your feet will be right on drain, seems to me the waste should not be in that location given the design. Also are you having a Bidet Toilet ? or is the power supposed to be in Shaving Cabinet ?
