What’s going under the window, a tub? I don’t really understand why they went above the door and window frame but I have seen tiling like that before.

Yes, a tub is going below the window. I don't know why they pushed out over the door and above the window. I had envision the outer bullnose tile framing the shower area and around the tub.

Are those wood 2x4s I see framing in your niche??

That's actually right. The only other way to make it look finished would be to run the bullnose vertically butted up against the door and window trim, and that's just not done.

Preferably, the tile would have gone in before the door and window trim, which would have sat on top.

It looks right to me.

There was no other way to do it, given door and window casing, What is the waterproofing of niche and shower floor? Wall tile comes after shower floor and wall tile......................

I agree there was no other way to do it when you take into consideration the shower head location. This was not thought out or drawn out prior.

Good news is assuming the waterproofing was done correctly the tile job itself looks fine.

Is the direction of the bullnoses on the vertical walls the issue? Unless you or installer had picked a tile line where they offer both versions (on 3" side and 6" side) the way they installed is the norm.

Jan, the waterproofing is the Kerdi system in the shower floor, walls and niches. We had not heard of this system, but our contractor uses this exclusively he said with excellent results.

I wish the corners were all the same. We considered having the tile continue to the ceiling.

Bri, I think the tub frame does have 2x4s. I guess they will remain and a wood panel apron is going under the tub.

If it's any comfort, my first thought seeing your picture was "finally, a nice, clean, professional tile job". Maybe I'm desensitized to disasters here on houzz...

I thought the same and wondered if I was missing something.

Hope you are keeping the same tile for the niche? It will look so much more pulled together than trying to tie it to the floor tile.

It looks like your door is lower than your window, so the top tiles will never line up. It would have looked worse if you stopped under the window. Once you get your glass enclosure in, you may not even notice it.

Would you consider tiling to the ceiling? And bring out the tile on the wall near your tub assuming you have no door there, splashes may get your wall wet....

I like how high they took the tile- I think it makes the shower area look roomier. And while I understand your annoyance at the different corners, I think when everything is done it will be hardly noticeable.

Just wanted to add that a lighter grout and light color on the wall will help minimize the appearance of the things you don’t like. Good luck!

Use the same white wall tile to cover the side of the tub.

It looks good to me. Because the window and door are at different heights, I don't see how else they could have installed it.

It looks terrific to me. Still trying to see what the disaster is.

I digg it. Looks great.

Lee lee, we are using the same tile in the niches. I like the look of the one tile.

Vanderjr, we are using white grout. And thanks to all for the advise. Sometimes the situation just needs different view points to bring the focus back to the whole picture.

Don't ever leave a contractor alone for more than 30 minutes without checking on progress....any contractor that hasn't worked for you before. Be sure you have gone over the plan with him/her and both of you know what you want done and how you expect it to look. Don't hire someone outside the home improvement store and let him work unsupervised. If you need a worker, get references from friends who have had work done are are happy with the result, or get tradespeople who are recommended by your tile or plumbing supplier or other store. Don't pay up front. Make sure you are shown the materials (paint, tile, wood, etc.) and they are what you ordered. Don't assume that all contractors are created equal.
Don't hire the lowest bidder and expect the best work. You may get the best work from the lowest bidder, and if that happens, you are lucky. References are the best source. Some people still say "You get what you pay for". I say "supervision us the best guarantee".
