We just had a few rooms of our house done in wood look tile, the job was finished yesterday. I need the brain trust of CP to tell me if I should ask them to fix a small chipped tile spot that we found this morning. Yes, it is small as shown in the zoomed out picture, but it is in the middle of the room. If this was in a corner, I would no doubt let it go.
Also given the cost/labor of this tile job, I expected them to not to have a finished product like this where someone clearly noticed and decided to grout the chip instead of fixing it! I am suspecting that something was dropped on it near the end of the project and since this tile was already set, they didn't want to fuck with it.
My concern is asking them to come rip out this tile and repair it could have it looking worse, correct, messing up the surrounding tiles/grout? Should I even bother with this?

Congrats, Karen! I'm sure this will all be over Wednesday. [Reply]

I know my comparison is exaggerated but you get it home find a dent and chip in the paint. What are you going to do with it just off the assembly line? Call it patina and character? Or demand it be made right? [Reply]
Myself, I will put my own character into my car, not the assembly line. Did you like it when a thug put a patina into your Murano with rock riprap? [Reply]
It's like those dildos who buy a brand new custom Gibson or Fender pre-relict from the factory. You know it for looks not for play. It going to hang on a wall till they tire of it. [Reply]
