Please is there any way to save this or not?

4 years ago

M saddened noticing the details n seeing this after researching on YouTube that contractors supposed to lay floor first then side wall on top. What should I do as I already paid my contractor but he’s still here doing another project in the house but with different crew n not the crew that did my shower. He said shower moves so that caused the cracks between tiles n to let him know in a month or 2 so when the shower settles in place so he come n fix the cracks. I know the subs used the un sanded grout coz they sent me to get it but saw un sanded is not recommended for inside the shower area? How much roughly estimate u think May cost me to retile the mistakes?

    It will cost you the 9K that this should have cost you. Plus about $1200 in demo costs. Then there’s the rest of the work that your CONtractor is doing….

    Oh my! It seems anyone who can hold a hammer is calling themselves a contractor these days.

    Appreciates ur feedbacks 🙏🏽 now don’t know if we should hold the last payments from same contractors from flooring of only $2000 left to pay but not the from the bathroom job ( same contractors but different sc ). I paid for the bathroom jobs before noticing these 😫. What should you do if you were in my shoes?

    It's a mess; I'm so sorry. I would ask for my money back and hire someone who knows what they are doing. I'm sure someone will come here soon ask if you know how they waterproofed this shower, what is behind the tile? If what's showing is such poor workmanship, it's unlikely it's any better behind the tile.

    I'd probably talk to a construction lawyer before withholding the $2k. You might have to sue him to get your money back, but chances are probably slim that you could ever collect anything.

    YIKES!! Grout has to be removed 100% before silicone caulk is installed.
