Here's the photos

That would drive me crazy.

I think he tried to match the pattern instead of the tile. The pattern is not consistent so he had to pick one.

I don't know what the correct choice would be, aside from a different tile.

Shouldn't have lippage, of course.

That tile print is off. If everthing lined up, it would show that much worse.

The pattern is supposed to look handmade I suppose. This is how I expected it to look. who would want to line up the pattern and not the grout lines???

@Chispa - Well, they did the layout correctly. It never occurred to me that they would try to line up the pattern? I am not even sure if that is what they were doing or if it is just a sloppy job. I am leaning toward sloppy due to all the lippage.

" There is some lippage "

" I am leaning toward sloppy due to all the lippage. "

Which is it, some or all the lippage? How bad? This a floor or walls?

"who would want to line up the pattern and not the grout lines??? "

Someone who cares what the pattern looks like.

The grout appears much too low.

Huh? The comments here are so strange. And no one evem answered my question on whether this was an acceptable tile job or not.

I think lining up the pattern was a beter choice than lining up the grout lines. The pattern ia what catches the eye.

Not sure what you want from the comments.

Lippage is generally bad and there are actual standards for how much is considered acceptable. You didn't show any lippage, though, so we can't opine.

Low grout might lead to the feel of lippage, or accentuate lippage that would be otherwise acceptable.

Mismatched grout lines would bug me. Mismatched pattern would also bug me. If you can show a picture that isn't too zoomed in, I could say which would bother ME more in this situation, but that might not be what bothers YOU.

Do you think changing the grout to the color in the sample might help?

I would like to know if I am being too picky or if there is really a problem with these tiles.

This is a small bathroom and there are at least 6 places where one of the adjacent tiles is a quarter coin height taller than the other tiles. I have not gone through systematically to find them, so thrre are probably more. Those are just what I noticed when I was walking barefoot on the tile. It is not comfortable. If that is not lippage I apologize. I am not a tile expert hence why I asked here. There is also the issue of the grout lines not lining up and uneven grout lines.

I would personally not find it acceptable. Whether or not it's bad enough to insist on a redo? Hmm. I'd be asking.

I would not accept the uneven grout lines. If they wanted to do something weird like that intentionally, they should have asked you in advance.

The problem with lippage in a bathroom in particular is toe-stubbing. I know someone who sold a house because they were tired of stubbing their toes in a newly remodeled bathroom. It had gone to mediation of some sort but the result was not that the contractor had to do it over, there was a financial settlement. But that didn't fix the problem and they did not want to tear out the entire floor again. It wasn't the only reason they sold the house, but the daily irritation and reminder was part of it.

The lip page alone is enough to get it replaced imho.

@SB. To answer your question.

Lippage is unacceptable. Fact.

Note: As soon as the Tile Setter realized the pattern did not match on the tile he/she should have refused to install it. A discussion at the very least.

So they came to fix the issues, but didn't fix all of the issues. They replaced 25 tiles. And some look like they just put a new one back the same way the old one was. Then they also chipped several tiles in the process. I am not sure what to do now. My husband thinks I should just live with it. I want the contractor to actually make the floor look right. What would you do if this were your house?

What you want is a complete redo with a different tile, and a different tile installer.

Yikes. I don't have the money to buy all new tile :(
