I've been adding epoxy putty to skate boots for a bit and thought I'd share. It really helps protect the boot on the interior part that doesn't have a side protector. If not doing this, I'd be wearing out the plastic and taking away from the integrity of the boot when doing deep slides.

I hired a one-man team to reno my only bathroom. He had good referrals locally, has been pleasant and thorough in communication so far, and seemed confident in his ability to execute the agreed scope.

Ignoring the haze, which should wipe away when he wraps up tomorrow, there are several things here that make me very uncomfortable with the work. Generally, it does not look neat or precise, but here are some specific aspects of the install that I worry may be bad and need reworking/redo:

1. The tiles that meet the lookers left edge of the tub are not flush with the wall. Is this ok in this scenario? Wouldn't the hardie board behind we square to the tub edge to ensure a flush install of the wall tile?
2. There is a tile near the floor on the corner by the sink plumbing that extends beyond the wall on the other side of the corner. Is it typical not to trim the tile to meet neatly at the corner?
3. The scope listed that they would use Ditra decoupling membrane under the floor tile. I see only hardie board. Am I missing something and is this acceptable? The tiles are not level, and some are out of level enough to stub a toe.

Am I overreacting? Is there any remedy besides having someone else come in to redo? They are coming back tomorrow to clean up the tile work and install fixtures. We have paid him roughly 50% of the estimate cost (it was a detailed estimate with ranges in cost per line item) and I cannot imagine paying a cent more given what I am seeing here.

Thanks in advance for thoughts/suggestions/advice.

EDITs!!! -

1. The grout is red, which we requested. He claims he needed to let it finish drying overnight before wiping down since the pigment kept running when he ran the sponge over it after the first few hours of setting/drying.

2. If anyone with the interest and skill to help me out of this mess does work in Northern New England (US), please DM me. I would love to chat.

3. For those who want to see an update and help me decide what to do as far as recourse, I added a comment below with things cleaned up a bit. Grout is still not really set so wiping down just makes it seep more pigment at this point. Not sure if this grout sucks or he didn’t work with it correctly.

As the title says, you can't make this shit up lol
