Tile Pattern Bathroom Floor

almostover

Looking for opinions on a tiling job in an ensuite bathroom. In the process of buying a new build house. Builder gave allowance on tiles with reputable tile warehouse. Tiler provided by tile warehouse. All tiles in the house seem very well laid but something caught my eye today in the ensuite floor. Snag is being done soon and wondering if this is something we should ask our engineer to snag or am I being pedantic?

Photo attached shows floor can only fit 2 full width tiles. Fine. But why have a very narrow tile one side of the two full width tiles and a larger one on the other side? I'm not in the know when it comes to tiling but I thought they would measure the floor width, subtract the width of 2 full tiles and then divide the remaining space with 2 equal tile segments. That would leave the grout line central on the toilet bowl. Should I bring this up or am I gone half mad?

Probably don't have a leg to stand on with this, what happens the tiling beyond this, its not in this photo, could you post another one. Is this the full width of the room or is it wider beyond the bottom side of the photo.

Looks like the tiler determined the layout by where the rad pipe entered the floor to save having that in the middle of a tile. Looks fine to me (but these things don't bother me).

Only took that photo while I was there today. There's a shower at the other end of the ensuite and a wash hand basin in the middle of the room. The room is the same width throughout at 900mm.

I get you, located the rad pipe on a joint so that he wouldn't have to cut around it in the middle of a tile. Makes sense I suppose but the lack of symmetry messes with my OCD!

Tiling is fine. Reason mentioned above. Putting the rad so close to the pan is stupid though. Any poor aiming skills from boys will have it destroyed.

Thanks for the feedback, glad to hear I'm being a bit OCD and the tiling is fine. Makes sense to do it this way with the radiator pipe.

It's the very same in my rented house ensuite, rad next to the toilet. Haven't hit it yet!!

Tiling is fine as above. I would ask builder to seal the gap where the toilet meets the floor. If toilet overflows you don’t want stuff getting under there.

I'm going to be the odd one out here and say that would drive me crazy. The floor looks lopsided and the loo is sitting to one side of a tile and not in the centre. I'd be getting the tiler back to fix this. You'll be looking at those wonky lines every time you go into the bathroom.

There's only 5 minutes in a day when that would bother me. 😂

I'd leave it unless there was an issue with the workmanship. You have to pick your fights.

My fear is that fixing it will involve cutting a long slot in the tile and then grouting a piece back in, might actually look worse!
