Tile job recommendation for spillway between pool and attached spa

[SLUBOPOOL]

Hi,

We have asked our PB to redo our tile work on the spillway between our pool and attached spa two times for our pool remodel. We are curious of your assessment (quality, longevity of current condition of tile work, etc.) of the work done the second time? Would you recommend bullnose corners in the future? How hard would it be to redo the tile in the future without our new pebble plaster job being disrupted or completely draining the pool?

Thank you very much for your suggestions.

S,

What is it that you do not like?

The pics don't expand, so it is hard to tell what the problem is.

Thanks,

Jim R.

Thanks for your reply, Jim. Will attach larger pictures. Curious about the overall tile job (quality, longevity, etc.)
for a pool remodel? Didn't do any kind of bullnose tile or grout on the edges? Could that cause any issues in the future?

I see what you are seeing and it looks like the bottom shelf tilers were on your job site I do not like the end pieces. Way too much grout showing. The moving water will erode that over time.

@AQUA~HOLICS how would your guys do this?

Thanks for the reply. Yes and the work you are is seeing is for the second time after having redone the first try.

My suggestion would be to hire a more competent tile setter completely on your own and deduct that cost from the overall cost of the pool and this would also include the removal.
It’s all in the layout prior to actuality placing the tiles. This allows for the proper grout thickness.
The grout is the weakest part of the tile installation, and your pictures show lots of grout.
Appears to me the cause of this happening a second time may be due to inexperience or Lowe bid or both.

Thank you for your suggestions and reply. Third time is the charm.
