Sub contract tiler dropped a tile into it and corner of a rather heavy tile has chipped into surface rather badly (sort of like dug a hole) this has gone clean through the surface into resin fibre of the bath tub. size is approx no bigger than 5 or 10c piece. any advise please? getting tiler back to fix it is not an option as I am not interested in having this individual back to do a * by smearing some tile grout over the problem area.

I've got their number here - 0418 386121 Don't agree that the tiler has to replace the whole bath because he dropped a tile on it, pay for the repair, tilers make 2/10th of stuff all! 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 4043 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 31279 there was an event.
