Can anyone advise us what to do???
Our Tiler started laying the main floor area's on Saturday morning...great guy, his work is very pro! We popped over to the house to have a look and was shocked at the colour variation on the tiles. He advised that he down tools and speak to the SS on Monday. All was good, SS agreed that the floor tiles were ******* and that the tile supplier will send a rep out to have a look. Again, the rep agreed they were bad and go choose another tile...so we did. Time is of the essence here as we need handover by Oct 13th...otherwise we're homeless!!!
So we chose another tile...however the ONLY plain(ish) tile that BeAu do is a sealed Porcelain with rectified edge...MMmmm. All their other range seem to be patterned etc in a 400x400 or 450x450.
Anyway, we manage to get the upgrade tile for $1k...however it's the Bl0ody labour...additional $4k over standard porcelain tile. What do we do? We don't have an additional $4k laying around!
So we either stay with a floor that will look like a chess board, pay all this extra labour etc for a different tile, or chose something else that we just wont like 100%.
The other thing that $h1ts me is that we can't go to another tile supplier to get a different range.
Am seriously thinking of calling my CM and requesting the $7.3k we paid in the contract be given to us to get the tiling done ourselves (and quickly) so at least we can shop at an array of outlets here in Bris and not be confined to one supplier!!
