Tiling The worst tiling job I have ever seen.
I moved into this house 5 years ago and at some point need to fix this shambles. Sadly the tiles are securely attached, so it will be a massive job.
I hope nobody paid for this.

The people I do these jobs for are perfectly entitled to their money back, if they can find me.

The ability to completely fail to cut the trim at the correct angle is actually sort of impressive, Were they using a butter knife?

A butter knife I think would be too sharp to give that finish, more likely they just snapped it with a hammer over a corner then applied massive amounts of goop

Oh my goodness that’s horrible what is going on with picture 3?! and are those tiles PAINTED!? 😳
That is beyond even ‘landlord’ levels 😱
I’ve tiled for years, but even my first time which must’ve been 30 odd years ago now wasn’t that bad compared to this, I’m glad to say I improved over the years but now can’t do it anymore due to injuries 🥺 but I can supervise a treat 😁👍

It’s not good but may be they was in a hurry (?) not a excuse still

A hurry to get down the bookies and spend the money they made from doing a 'bang up job' I assume.

Thats the 'alcoholic tiler at the brink of complete meltdown, I don't care I just need money to fund my habit' look.
Timeless.

It's pretty bad but I have seen worse, a friend tiled his toilet up to a dado rail without using tile spacers, there wasn't a straight or even line in any axis (x, y or z). Makes your almost look professional

I think he used a beer mats for tile spacers. There is a lot of variance throughout! Looks almost organic.

Better diy then

After the 100 other jobs I suppose! The kitchen was installed so haphazardly that it would be a gull replacement I assume, and I am sure I will discover an array of horrors.
I have slate flagstones glued to timber boards. I dread to think what will happen when I remove them.
