albertchng 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2012 Sigh kinda disappointing response I got frm the contractor.. Quoted from him when I ask how bout the crack tiles in the common toilet his reply " that one can't be help, the use of homogenous tiles may cause some crack lines during installation. The severe ones in the kitchen have already been replaced. This one is only a small hairline on the surface" I really speechless. I believe been professional we have paid extra dollars for this subconscious to install it & we expect good work, not this kind of ,pardon me ,EXCUSES! Can anyone suggest or advise if it's thru? Hairline crack on the surface?! Got such thing not first... To me crack is crack... Sigh Think it's getting uptight cox timeline is short and we didn't want anymore works to be done after handover Try to "teah" your contractor into changing the crack tile. Or bribe him and his tiler over a dinner and 1, 2 crate of beers. Worst case scenario, try stomp your feet and cry in front of him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NeoBY 1 Report post Posted March 21, 2012 Is it ceramic tiles? There is bound to have cracks when drilling on tiles. The issue is whether the contractor is willing to rectify/replace the faults or nothomogenous tiles that are too hard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NeoBY 1 Report post Posted March 21, 2012 By right By left, the installer should be professional enough to know this trick on how to drill without cracking the tiles right? I know ceramic tiles are easily cracked. Old houses use white ceramic tiles for kitchen and toilets. I saw my father drilling bathroom accessories in toilet, when he realised the crack surfaced, he adjusted something on his drill, and start to drill again. Maybe that was what you referred to as switching to non-hammer drill to hammer drill. Sometimes installers forget about this trick, and when they realised, too late, the crack has surfaced.I was told, for such tiles, you shouldnt bull doze your way in. there is a technique for drilling such tiles. I guess the skill of the plumber is not there yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
