Is this bad work or are my expectations too high? I posted this in the bathroom remodeling sub before I knew there’s a tile group. I got some feedback there but thought bringing this to the experts might be a good idea.
Editing to add: the tilers who set this were hired by a subcontractor who was hired by ServPro. They are also supposed to set floor tile as part of a repair covered by insurance. The wall tile is something I added on and am paying for myself. I’m concerned about how the floor might turn out given the work they did on the wall.
My bathroom is being remodeled and I’m putting subway tile on part of a wall. The spacing looks very uneven and inconsistent to me. Looking at the vertical spaces, some are very tight and some are wide, and some are wide on the top and tight on the bottom (and vice versa).
This is my first experience with tile of any kind so I don’t know if there’s a margin of error that’s to be expected and I’m just being picky or if this is really outside reasonable standards for paid work.
