Marble tiler

[cunninghams]

Hi, Im hoping somebody can help me with the following: my tiler placed 60m2 of marble tiles in my kitchen/hall over a year ago. Unfortunately he was a complete disaster. To start with the tiles are borderline trip hazards due to the level of lippage especially in the kitchen. Also in the last year there is roughly 15 tiles (60x 40cm) that have cracks. The grout is also coming up on some of the tiles. I have discovered that the tiler actually used the wrong sealer-the sealer he used is for the sealing of slates. Hence the job I need done is the removal of this sealer, filing in of grout and grinding down of lippage and repolishing and sealing of the entire floor area. Can anybody plesae reccomend a tiler/ marble specialist that wont cost an arm and a leg to carry out this repair work. Or perhaps offer a do-it yourself remidy?

Where are you based?

If in Dublin, I'll post the name and contact details of the tiler who did our kitchen and bathrooms later, when I can find them - he was excellent, and I know he also does repairs on botch jobs!

Sorry for delay - tiler is Gavin Keoghan. Tel 01 4515823, or email to gavinkeoghan at gmail dot com.

I still think you'd be better looking for someone more local - an hour's drive for a job is a lot unless it's a high value one. But I am happy to recommend his work, and I suppose there's no harm asking...
