Re: How to fix tiling problems?
Hello @MissKate
It appears that the grout did not settle properly on the gaps of your tiles. Can you please tell me which grout product did you use on the tile gaps? This particular type of tile does need extra attention due to its shape. Fan corners must be cut if you wish to fill the gaps between the tile, and end bits also need to be cut as well. It is fiddly, but if prepared properly will look fantastic.
It's also vital that you use a spacer to make sure that you have uniform spacing between tile sheets. Poor alignment will make the sheets stand out or other parts seem to close to one another.
If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

A handyman did this and I’m so disappointed. It is appalling. Your Bunnings advertisement looked lovely and neat.
