From the pictures it doesn’t look great.. I would be very upset. Are the tiles flat or more rustic, I can’t really tell..

The tiles are flat. We got flat tiles on purpose so it wouldn’t look rustic

I would not be happy.

It should be flat. Ask the tile pro how he proposes to fix it. Post his answer here.

I would not like it.

It looks like I installed the tile! Standing on one leg with one hand behind my back and blindfolded.

HU has good advice. I think it is the tile person's job to tell you immediately if the wall is unlevel and that they are having problems. They should not continue to tile it. He/she is a professional so I hope they stand by their work. Good luck.

Your tile person had no skills and no pride in their work.

The tile was hard to install for your contractor because he's not very good at it.

Out of plumb/level/square walls don't give you tile-by-tile lippage.

We recently had long white subway tiles installed in a tub/shower combo in a stacked pattern like yours. We bought the absolutely cheapest HD white subway, and because of the tile pro’s skill, it looks like a million bucks. Don’t let the installer tell you that the tile is to blame. Our tile wasn’t even perfectly flat, but the completed installation is perfectly flat with no lippage anywhere.

Those longer tiles should be over lapped by 1/3 ( maybe 1/2 ) - they shouldn't be 'jack on jack'.

If you have some spare tiles - hold them back to back - you will probably see a gap in the middle because they are not flat.

This is a tear out. The person who installed the tiles was not a tile installer.

Nope, bad tile job.

It looks as bad as my sheetrock and texture job. I have wavy walls. Seams show everywhere. He did not know how to float it or texture it correctly. Then, he used a small router like tool that he couldn't control and he would up cutting the electrical wires, speaker wires, etc. Plus, every hole for the electrical and canned lights were so large that the plates and housing does not cover the holes. He had no skill whatsoever. When he couldn't fix the problems, he admitted that he was really a painter, but he wanted to learn how to sheetrock and texture. Since, he couldn't fix it, we didn't let him paint. I can't believe he even asked to bid. So, I feel your pain for the tiles. He should pay to replace the tiles.

Most of the "is this tile install bad?" posts typically feature something that looks fine to me. But this one does *not* look fine. This is a mess and you should definitely have it remedied. What kills me is that one long row (about 1/3 up) that is completely recessed. How could that not be noticed during install??
