Bathroom: Transition tiles / door detail poorly executed

Hello dear house-building experts,

I need advice from you:

Fact: In our new build, the tiles in the bathroom were laid up to the door opening, so the door frame was now placed on top of the tiles. Unfortunately, this was only noticed very late due to general planning errors of the bathroom by the architect.

Problem: The whole thing looks very unattractive above the tiled area, as there is a gap all around (gap door to wall). The builder now wants to simply cover this with molding. Reason: this is not a defect per se and we have no right to demand rectification (>>> remove tiles, lay them properly, place the door frame correctly beside them).

Question: Is the builder correct? What would you do – have it rectified or just cover it with molding?
.
Looking forward to your answers.

Best regards from Sophia

I unfortunately do not understand it. Pictures?

Hello bookstar,
I am currently on the go, so I don’t have a picture, but this is roughly what it looks like for us (door frame lies on tile): only that the gap behind the door frame is not plastered like in the photo, but open (= there is a gap between the frame and the wall). For us, it is supposed to be covered with trim.

My question about that: is this a defect? From my point of view, the tiler should have taken this into account beforehand.
Best regards

only that the gap behind the door frame is not plastered as in the photo

That looks more like silicone to me. In our guest bathroom, it is the same way.

Ah okay, I understand now. This is clearly a defect, and if it bothers you that much, I would have it fixed.

Why does something like this have to be planned? Did the tiler forget his brain at the last construction site? Oh dear..

In our new building, the tiles in the bathroom were

the term "tile baseboard" or "floor molding" is missing, then one also understands what is meant. We also have a gap because the drywall panels were not straight. It can happen, but it doesn't have to. It is not noticeable, and it just occurred to me again after seeing the picture. If it annoys someone: have it fixed (remove half of the baseboard, that should not be a problem).
