Worth fixing? 5Apr 19, 2020 3:18 pm chippy Based on it's location and the fact that it will cause you no issues from a structural viewpoint, I wouldn't bother. If it was next to you entry or probably in any other spot that you'd regularly see it then I'd say get it fixed but considering the fact you will never see it again, I'd just move on. Thanks Chippy. I'm of the same opinion also regarding the chipped brick. I would assume for that to be fixed, the brick would need to cut out and re-mortared? I'm no expert but from my understanding this could result in a worse off finish aesthetically, and the mortar colour may also not match 100%. This is our first build, I'm definitely a little anxious leading up to our PCI, whilst we expect everything to be up to standard I just don't know how pedantic to be about slight faults. Thanks again! Re: Chipped Brick! Worth fixing? 6Apr 23, 2020 12:25 pm My PCI has been booked in for next week, which is great news. Does anyone else have any more feedback regarding the chipped brick on the boundary? Re: Chipped Brick! Worth fixing? 7Apr 23, 2020 3:12 pm Personally it wouldn't bother me But I would definitely bring it and other small faults up as you can use them as bargaining chips - "OK I'll accept the chip but then you need to do this..."

That's good advice mate, thanks. I guess it's not really worth the trouble then replacing one brick I will never see, logically speaking. I will point it out as you mention to my SS at the PCI, it may give me some leverage for other possible faults. Building Standards; Getting It Right! These can be easily filled and repaired and it doesn't cost them much to do. Id get the builder to do this first and if the repair is not suitable then a replacement is… 12 31429 get them to replace the chipped tiles. It will stick out like a sore thumb overwise. Also tiler will be siliconing the miters rather than grouting. Grouted miters crack… 1 4090 I'll look into different shower heads and ask the plumber about some engineering and see what he says.
