WORST TILE JOB EVER !!!!

- Опубликовано: 17 май 2014
- I'm Bob Doyle, I've been doing tile work since 1998, most of it is building showers and bathroom renovations. My channel is primarily about showing a homeowner what to look for as your project progresses, assuming you hire a contractor. Yes I do have HOW TO videos, but this is not a DIY channel, as any one thing done wrong can cause huge problems. I don't mind answering questions, but if you call me, please hit the PayPal link above and contribute...I do NOT make money from RUclips.
Using the most expensive products will NOT ensure a good tile job, in the end what you do with the products is more important..see link
• THE 100 YEAR SHOWER !!...

In fairness, this was Stevie Wonder's 1st attempt at tiling.
this is the second time i am watching this. I had to come back and watch it again.
got my popcorn and iam all nice and cozy. yeah
Homeowner hack job. He just won’t fess up to it. Can’t blame him lol
I would pay to have a video of that guy installing this tile.
Jasonjj Wright lol
He is was probably drunk when doing it
My too man😅😅😅
never pay a contractor in full.
that cant be real? dafuk!? Homeowner attempt gone wrong.. blamed on cheaper contractor to save embarrassment.
Yes and also he was drunk while doing it
Another home owner job blamed on poor contractors
again.
Your sighs of disappointment are hilarious....great channel can't stop watching.
By posting this video, you're doing a great service for quality tile setters. Well done!
Complete bullshit. Nobody was paid for this. The homeowner had sticker shock and didn't want to pay the price and did it themselves. I'm a licensed contractor and have seen my share of shoddy work but this is a joke. Either a family member, the homeowner or a homeless man walking by. Nobody recommended someone that would do this. It's another level of bad
think about it the tile was really expensive so they didnt want to pay for labor just did it themselves and then blamed a fake contractor. no contractor would do this bad
I do tile on a daily basis man.... I m getting emotional right now...
That pattern is a Masterpiece
It looks like a dungeon? Like somewhere an unruly prisoner from the 1800's would get sent for solitary confinement! I've noticed lots of showers like this over the pond. Give me a sparkling white or light tile with good lighting, something that shows up the grime so it can be cleaned to a good standard and not hidden by dull earthen tones.
I agree to this
I just wanted to throw up watching this video. I can't believe that there are people out there who will dare to a job this bad and still charge someone for it. Thank goodness You guys are around to fix this disaster.
One of the big problems is people don't realize how hard and demanding tile work is until they try it. 90 % of good tile work is done before the tile is set.
I agree on everything you said especially the last part
Ray Charles tileing service. How may I help you ?
LOL!!!
Looks like the owner tried to do it themselves, I don’t think anyone hiring themselves out would be that grossly incompetent.
I have been doing tile since 1968 sorry to inform you buddy, in early days all tile was installed over fresh mortar float, especially pre thinset, pre backer board. That said this is a horrible tile install. I go back to time when all wall tile was installed over a 1/2 mortar float, & a true craftsman did it right. In the long run inept is inept.
True dat. My pops was setting tile in late 50's (prethinset) they set over green mortar & troweled on pure portland cement to adhere the tile. Had to soak tile in water for at least 30 minites before installing. We got it easy today ;-)
I can't believe how bad that is. Nearly looks intentionally bad. How could anyone leave it in that state?!
Just when I thought I did bad jobs you show me I'm not so bad for a novice thanks for the lift me up video
I call BULL! The homeowner did it himself. No way did anyone that had even simple knowledge of this kind of work perform anything like that. He figured that he could watch a few videos...Guess again!
Looks good to me. Don’t know what all the fuss is about 😉
There are no words ! There is a reason why someone prices a job at 300 bucks as opposed to someone else at 3000 .This should be in a hall of fame of screw ups . Waste of good tile and money . Feel bad for the home owner . This kind of thing causes marriage breakdown sometimes .
I am fixing a job right now. Guy set a 12x24 over a paper back kitchen floor that had an 1/8 inch sub floor only nailed every foot or so. Buddy said he had 20 years experience. I feel bad for homeowners that have to deal with this crap. Most times they don't know any better and by the time they figure it out its too late.
Yeah i agree that was home owner. Ive seen bad jobs and thats not a bad contractor job. DIY WEEKEND WORRIOR.
HOLY CRAP! I refuse to believe any contractor tile or not did this work. This whole job stinks of a batshit crazy home owner's attempt to tile his bathroom.
With a six pack & a joint !
Im a decorative concrete contractor and we have been doing a lot of re-dos this past few years. its always the same scenario. We are called to bid a job, we bid it to do the job correctly and then we never hear from them again because homeowners only care about the lowest price. We get called back a month or two later to see if we can come out and look to see there is anything we can do to fix what they had a cheaper "contractor" do. The old saying "you get what you pay for" is typically true in the trade world. Homeowners always have to learn the hard way
In those situations,i get great satisfaction,telling folk i don't repair other peoples mess.
they gave that floor character!
when you pay for quality, you only cry once.
True statement, but as a homeowner, when you really don't know anything about this and you get some fast talking contractor convincing you that he does great work and he's charging you the same price as someone else who does quality work, the homeowner is pretty much the victim of a scammer and not necessarily trying to get cheap labor.
That is just horrific.....I am in the midst of a tile job at my house on two bathrooms and I did my research on the tile guy we hired. I also googled how to install tile and the likes just to educate myself. I also make sure I am at home watching the work as it goes along. So far the tile guy we hired has nailed it!!!!
I’ve watched many of your “worst of” walkthroughs, but this one will give me nightmares. I agree with some of the other comments that drugs were certainly involved.
Wow! that is a Train Wreck! It makes me wonder if drugs were involved.
My thoughts exactly, remember kids, meth is death
I have been watching these videos (which are incredibly informative) educating myself to do my own bathrooms. Not having ever done a tile job or pan in my life, I’m sure I could have done a better job. Thanks for saving me a ton of money knowing how to do this right!
Omg! As a homeowner, this is a nightmare of a job!
I've laid tile drunk and it came out like every other tile job. I can't think of anything but laying tile during an earthquake, by a volcano, during an electrical storm.
Well at least he centered the tile in the niche
It amazes me that some people think that doing tile is so easy that anyone can do it. When I started doing tile I worked for a contractor for 5 years before I was confident enough to go on my own. People can lie and say they have lots of experience and when they get the job they're way in over their head. Makes us that have been doing it for years look bad. If I don't feel confident I can do a job I won't do it and I'll tell the customer that. I'm not going to do a half assed job and have the customer pay for it.
Even a DIY job would look better than that!
I would definitely contact my lawyer and sue the people who made that mess.
Im positive that it was done by the owner. Usually you as a client tend to look at progress and there no way that you can see that and just approve.
Yeah definitely looks like the owner though he could save a few dollars
I agree with everyone else the homeowner did it.
Thanks for the tips!
This is my favorate one. Always puts a big old smile on my face lol
thanks for sharing i know what to look for you are a great teacher
Thanks for your videos...........OMG... frightening job!!
you get what you pay for! been a tile contractor for 32 years, and 40 % of my work is pulling down bad work. so, the next time the handyman give you a price, be ready to pay again. Don't feel sorry for these people. DO YOUR HOME WORK ON YOUR CONTRACTOR!!!!!!
robert ruggiero right on, been a tile setter for nearly 30 years and I have a good rep. I get calls all the time to fix shit jobs after someone under bids me, all I tell them is call the other guy back. You get what you pay for.
This is the craziest thing I've ever seen!
I LIKE IT. YOU COULDN'T DO THAT BAD OF A JOB IF YOU TRIED.
I ALWAYS GET THE FEELING IT WAS THE HOME OWNERS WORK BUT THEY DON'T WANT TO ADMIT IT
For a best BAD tiling job this one is the winner!
I’d bet the homeowner did it and was embarrassed so said he hired someone else
I feel the same. No one does this bad if they own a business.
Plot Twist: Bob actually doesn't know how to tile. He builds these disaster showers himself for RUclips content then he subs out the demo and redo.
@@anonymous..- 😂😂😂
I love these bad tile videos, they make me laugh.
Oh my goodness! thanks for posting this. AS important as it is finding and showing how to do something correctly, it's JUST AS important to see what NOT to do!! It helps us as homeowners tally whether work is correctly being done. SMH. I'm watching this in gut-wrenching agony as my family and I are enduring shitty work right now. We've spent 4K for supplies and labour and we had 2 second opinions, one of which quoted 8K just to redo and fix it. Thanks so much for this, it gives SO MUCH insight!
lightningfan1980 You're welcome. And yes, posting bad jobs shows what to look for during the process, day one or two this "contractor" should have been sent packing ! Sorry to hear of your situation...personally I think 8g is too high a price, but the market ( where you are ) dictates it I suppose.
The tiler was going for the distressed look, he done a great job as I bet the homeowners face when he seen this could only be described that way.
WHOEVER DID THIS NEEDS TO BE ARRESTED AND FLOGGED!!!
Your videos are great but they have left me terrified about my upcoming bathroom reno. Tile on tile is the plan. the tiny bathroom (shower and tub in one) is a well-done builder renovation from about 1990, post reunifaction (Berlin, Germany). The tradesmen are generally good in Germany but the tremendous building boom means that many willing but untrained Eastern Europeans have been brought in to fill the gap. After watching your videos, I understand why the previous owner decided not to "fix what ain't broken"... Heaven help me!
frustration sigh)... “I’ve ran out of words with this”... like your vids!
😭 I suck at tiling, but I don’t suck that bad!! You’re right worst job ever!
That rogue tile in the middle of the border cracked me up! It looks stupid as hell 🤨
What an atrocity! That is by far the worst tile job I've ever seen in my life. What amazes me is that the contractor got that far before he was fired.
the shower pan is my personal favourite in this video for epic awful
Looks like a homeowner did it. Durock is the worst for the shower walls, in my opinion. They skipped on waterproofing too. Whoever did this shower had absolutely no idea what he’s doing. Either a stingy homeowner or Craigslist very “reasonable contractor”. Some people use words “reasonable” and “cheap” interchangeably.
Keep making the videos. Show people not to let this happen. Remodeling bathrooms is what I do for a living. I wish I might let someone do something like that.
Most accurate title for a video ever!!
You know what? I tried commenting on this like five times... and there are just NO WORDS for the mess that installer made. Being somewhat of a perfectionist, this completely made me cringe.
What tha WHAT !! That is terrible. I cant believe that was so bad . It looks like it was a less see how crappy we can do this job and get money for it .Wow just WOW .
what a mess ! looks like some elementary kids did it ! you do a wonderful job fixing other peoples mistakes
I’ve seem worse...lol
Thanks for great tile tips. I am a better tile man thanks to you.
You mean to tell me somebody actually paid money for this work? Doing such a shitty job should be a crime and the person that did this shitty job should be in jail!
Lol homeowner tried to diy and blamed a contractor...
Dylan Campbell I think your right
WOW, Just WOW!
looks like a bathroom in a horror movie
The owner is the culprit, even an amateur tiler wouldn’t make some of these mistakes
Wrong! , the owner is an amateur.
I gotta put this one on the homeowner. I am sure the Neanderthal that did this job must have just been an obvious mess.
There was drugs involved.
Michael Elliott lots!!!!
I’d have a really hard time going in to rescue a customer who passed up my quote to save a dollar and wound up in this situation. It’s sad, but this is what happens when you forgo a professional to save a few bucks. Now the job has cost you twice.
That is the worse job I have ever seen, I've been installing bathrooms for 25 years, the home owner installed that, I guarantee it !
I'm actually laughing out loud. Tiler had to have been drinking! 😂
That shower cracks me up🤣🙈...but why would the home owner want slate in there in the 1st place?😄
"Shades Tile Inc...putting blind folks to work!" Seriously, I agree with a previous post. I think the homeowner did this and was too ashamed to admit it. I have a friend whose wife starts projects like this and he just sits back until she gets bored and then he cleans up the mess. No way anyone would sit back and let that crazytrain run that long.
I doubt the homeowner hired somebody to do this job. I think he decided to give it a crack himself and realized it was harder than it looked, then called back this guy and made up the story of another tile guy.
+bee4010 You would be surprised if you knew the amount of so called low(er) priced "contractors" who have absolutely no clue what they are doing. There are many frauds on this planet, trust me. I've been watching a show on the BBC a few times, can't recall the name of the show, but there they catch actual contractors who mess up EVERYTHING, including entire roofs, brick walls, ceilings, windows, stairs, wall supports, tiling, plumbing, electricity, etc. EVERYTHING you can think of, including the insulation. In such ways that sometimes complete houses need to be torn down and rebuild from scratch because they are legally to dangerous to live in.
You sure the homeowner didn't try doing this himself? This person did not know anything!
My thoughts exactly!!!! LOL.
This is so bad it looks fake...you literally have to be blindfolded to do it that bad...
This was the homeowner for sure...anyone who contracted someone would have stopped the job on the floor alone
Must have been the home owner,or 'handyman' relative,who had a go doing that.
It appeared it was done during a power cut at night and 1 🕯️ was the only source of light in the entire house.
A lot of people try to go cheap, but here is a cast of cheaper isn't always better. Now they'll be paying for the work twice. Can't tell you how many times I had to fix someone else's work and the second time cost way more than the first.
wow for a minute I thought you were out here in El Paso TX. I actually ran into alot of jobs done like that. all messed up. but people are ok with it LOL
I think it looks pretty good
You know, if it was a 4 year olds first bathroom remodel.
This is about as bad a job as one I was asked to quote on where the customer had hired someone to level the basement floor in order to install tiles on later. The guy did everything wrong you could think of. He didn't apply a polymer to the concrete, he didn't mix the leveler properly (way too thick) and ended up with waves and nothing had been "leveled". Every step you took you'd hear a "crunch, crunch...". The customer had only paid the guy $150 to do the whole basement, what did he expect?
Stevie Wonder Tile Contracting Inc.
Oh my word! Looking at that makes me feel defeated. I feel for the customers but also makes me get up set that they let that go on.
I agree with you I think that is probably the worst I have ever seen
Wow I work with my dad doing this for a living, this is without a doubt the worst bathroom job I’ve ever seen in my life
WOW just wow!
Mine looks like that and i got a good deal from the contractor he said he done plenty like this and never no issues
Nauseating. I'm queasy seeing this. I live in Cali, have visited the ATL, and a friend of mine from out here (an electrician) now lives out there. He says he's never seen more fire prone work in his life now that he's out there. What's up? No codes???
Picasso! 😂abstract job! That was the idea. You guys are not looking at the big picture😂
I think the home owner did this and was to ashamed to admit it.
cooldog60 i agree lol
Haha I feel bad for the home owner, but not really haha. Let this be a reminder that NOT ALL trade craftsmen are the same! Tiling is a true craft, you need years of training to do it correctly.
This reminds me of The Three Stooges' work. "Moe, Larry cheese! Moe, Larry, cheese!"
Haha! That is so terrible it is comical! Whoever did this obviously didn't even try to learn the basics of doing tile work.
Plot Twist: Bob actually doesn't know how to tile. He builds these disaster showers himself for RUclips content then he subs out the demo and redo.
😂😂😂😂
homeowner probably did it lol
