Hi all wondering if this tile job looks up to par. I literally know knowing about it. At first glance it looks well done to me but focusing on some of the wall/floor tiles they are not completely even, Is it normal to have some slight unevenness of tiles on install? Is the grout done correctly?

Looks like they should have put another layer of Redguard on the walls at a minimum.

Thank you. do the tile itself look ok? Will the lack of the extra cost cause issues down the road?

redguard says ”at least one fully applied” coat, does what has been left untitled in that pic not look substantial? Would you say something to the contractor if the job has been completed already at this point?

All the changes in plane (corners, wall to pan) need to be silicone, what you he was grout which is incorrect and will crack in short order. Different planes move independently of one another and caulk will move with the material, grout will crack and fall out. Redguard may be ok, maybe not. It needs to be gauged as Redguard has requires certain mil thickness of their product. Tiling while not great it ok for the most part to my eye. You don't judge from close up pics, and we certainly have seen much worse. Flood test passed I presume?

With a thin grout line and a fifty/fifty pattern using LFT lippage is going to happen and will be highlighted by overhead lighting.

The change of plain grout is usually not done by experience pros anymore.

@millworkman no how do you do a flood test just run the shower? (Sorry for my ignorance) is there any thing I can do to fix the corners if and when problems may arise? Do I need to seal the stall floor or anything?

The flood test is typically done before tile. Yes you plug the drain, fill the pan and let the water set for 48 hours to be sure the level does not go down. Typically done prior so that if you have a leak it can be found and easily remedied, not so much one tiles. Theoretically a properly waterproofed shower can be used with no tile at all as the tile does nothing for the waterproofing aspect of the shower.

$5700 for everything except the tiles itself including heated floors and new floor tiles throughout the bathroom

Corners or changes in plane as they are called need to have the grout removed and replaced with 100% silicone caulk. The fresher the grout the easier it is to remove.

Thank you. What in the redguard photo would indicate that it was not waterproofed Correctly?.

@millworkman would it be acceptable to wait for the the grout to start cracking and then use the silicone or you’d rip it out right away?

Only way to be sure the Redguard is correct is with a gauge. Beyond that who knows if it were applied properly. The longer the grout sits the harder it gets so the best time is asap to remove it. Your tile setter should be the one to remove it and replace it with caulk.
