Why do you then switch from wood tile look A to wood tile look B in the bathroom? What kind of floor does the hallway in front of the bathroom have?

Finally someone who speaks plainly. It’s no coincidence that good (and unfortunately also overrated) tilers cost money. You pay for the look, speed, "not having to do it yourself," and "not having to be annoyed about mistakes you made yourself."

Hello with correct dentition and sufficiently stiff mortar, there should be hardly any swelling. And for straight alignment, there are line lasers (can be borrowed) and a straightedge.

And if there happens to be a bit too much glue in the joint, just scrape it out with a cutter.

When I see the performance of the so-called "professional tilers" in our house and also in others, it can be quite scary at times. You can count good tilers in Saxony on one hand. Most of them are bunglers. You really have to say it like that. And it has nothing to do with the price.

Botched work everywhere you go, in the truest sense. I know of 4 examples alone that were done by professionals and were an absolute disaster. In one case, the bathroom window wouldn't open anymore, in another, the tiles broke—shortly after the warranty period, in our place, things are all quite crooked and unevenly laid, even though I explicitly told him where to start so that it wouldn't end up crooked. Just this past weekend I had an acquaintance who also said he does everything himself because the tilers either don't want or can't do it well.

I didn’t write anything different. Even if the tile laying company here has a good reputation, who guarantees to me, for example, that the newly hired journeyman works just as well? Unfortunately, no one!
