Why would it not be possible to align it perfectly? That sounds like BS.

Also if the tile job is this bad, what did they do for waterproofing under the tile?

This is a hack job by someone who shouldn't be tiling but again I'd be more concerned with what went before the tile.

I agree as I am not particularly "picky" or "trained" in the nuances of tile setting but this looks terrible.

The disclaimer seems very odd - did you question why it is not possible to align perfectly. To most lay people that might mean some kind of very slight issue like a bit of lippage but certainly not something that looks completely off even if not examined closely.

I would also question how they actually constructed the shower - do you have any pictures you took while it was being done.

I am attaching a picture of my bathroom tile while it was being done and as you can see the corners meet perfectly and the non-consecutive rows are the same in terms of how the tiles were cut and fitted.

Perfectly? Nah. That's not likely. But what you have is just bad.

Tiles on the same wall should at least be on the same plane.

Thanks for all your responses the contractor is going to redo that wall.he installed the dry wall and said the wood on the back was uneven. To me is just a big excuse, the tiles before were even. I really hope it gets done well this time. There were other things he had to redo as well. I see a great rush to be done, he gave me a reasonable price but I didnt ask for a bad job in return.

No matter how much he charged, he still has a responsibility to do reasonable quality work.

".he installed the dry wall"

Please tell me he is not actually using drywall?

Is this a shower wall or just a bathroom wall?

If it is a shower or bath tub wall, there are going to be massive issues in terms of waterproofing. A shower isn't built with drywall and it requires correct waterproofing system including the shower floor. Also waterproofing systems in showers are integrated so you can't generally repair a section of the tile.

Neither tile nor grout nor tile sealants are waterproof - it is the surface on which they are attached which is waterproofed.

If this is tile that is just decorative on a wall that is a different issue as it only would have aesthetic issues since you don't waterproof tiled walls that aren't in the "wet area".

If that's the shower wall, he can't just redo the one wall. All the waterproofing, if there is any will be compromised. What can that mean? Leaks and mold and rot because tile and grout are not waterproof. If a shower is properly waterproofed before the tile is installed, you could safely shower in it and never worry about leaks.

So once again, how did he waterproof the shower before he did the hack job on the tiles?

Absolutely HORRIBLE, No on doing work of that caliber has ANY business with a Trowel in hand!

Its not dry wall, it is durock I just could not remember the right name. Unfortunately I don’t know if there is anything else that needed to be done to waterproof. he came back and redid the wall, it is better but still not perfect. It is going to stay that way now, I am exhausted
