Thanks for sharing your experience! I believe you're right that the tiler did a bad job. I went to the flat again with a spirit level and discovered that these tiles were laid slanted. The walls on both sides were only slightly slanted but the slant on these tiles were even worse, so no excuses and likely have to hack and re-tile. Lose-lose situation cos more delays for me and more cost for the ID/contractor. *sigh*

Hi all, Just checked on my reno today and noticed that one of the bathroom wall tiles look slanted (quite obvious as 2 other friends and i spotted it at first glance). The distance where the tile edge meets the perpendicular walls on the sides vary by about 2cm when i compare the bottom tile and top tile along the wall. Called ID and reply was that not possible that his guys made a mistake, unless the side wall for my flat is slanted, which he says is common for old flats higher floors (i'm on 9th floor). Will meet up with ID and discuss about this, but checking for advice from bros and sis here. For wall tiles installation, is it common for the installers follow absolute level (i.e. using a spirit level) even though it will appear obviously slanted? Shouldn't they check with the owner first or advise/warn us beforehand? My wall is small (~1m width) and there is a vertical strip of a different color in the centre with mosiac tiles borders so the slant is emphasized. Appreciate any advice or past experience you can share! Thanks!

Hi appreciate it too if anyone can help PM me Iz's contact. still in process of getting my flat but should sort it out within a month and would like to start early. Thanks!
