Re: Polished Porcelain in bathrooms - silicon in corners HE 17Mar 10, 2012 2:07 pm Glad you are getting it all fixed. Our builder spent a few days this week doing the same, however there are still some issues. I'm trying to get a third party "specialist" porcelain tiler in to take a look and quote to do a final fix, however the builder is already a bit jumpy about this so we'll see how it pans out. My issue is that you pay all this money for a house, you pay extra money for full wall tiling of wet areas and you expect the result to be appropriate to the house cost, area and "upper market" quality you should reasonable expect etc. Then the tiling lets it down (otherwise the house is great); the builder commented that they felt the tiling met the BCA standard (but I believe I could probably tile to the BCA standard - we're paying for excellence not just a pass mark). I'd be keen to understand if there is an expected standard for this sort of stuff (ie grout evenness, laying consistency and clean and concise cuts etc). A person I know had a look at a bit of it (they are in realestate) and they said to reject it as unfit for the property of this type (ie reasonable expectation is that the tiling should appear "near" perfect especially for the cost of house and location) - we're dealing in the $1m+ property market on this project. Cheers Mark Re: Polished Porcelain in bathrooms - silicon in corners HE 18Mar 13, 2012 9:25 am I agree with you Mark ... we are not in your league but still forked out $14,000 for what we consider a very poor job. The tiler was shocked at how much we paid when we told him - he was grumbling that he only gets $38 per sq metre from the builder and has to do the job quickly therefore that leads to mistakes ... no apologies of course The builder shouldn't take your money for the tiling if they can't give you a near perfect result ....
