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?

We have a pool and live in the desert. Wood floors throughout, especially in living spaces, makes zero sense here. It's about durability and cleanable, hence the title.
Let me know when you get a garage and a pool at YOUR next house. [Reply]

None of your neighbors have hardwood floors huh? Pull the other one.
Who wants a pool in the midwest? Only a fucking idiot. Which is what you are, complaining about a chipped tile you don't even look at.
But this became item 1A on your honey-do list, didn't it? Better call them back or your wife won't even look at your dick for a month. Chop chop. [Reply]

Outstanding.
Nice.
I was going to say, if it were just me, I'd ignore it. But if your wife wants it fixed, well, you're getting it fixed. Great deal that the installers are going to take care of it for you so easily though. [Reply]
DO NOT REPLACE... It will be way more noticeable and your grout most likely won't match exactly as each mixed batch has variance and it also may crack where the new grout would meet with the existing grout line. They sell a ceramic/tile repair kit that allows you to match colors. They also sell a wood cover permanent type of marker in the flooring area of most big home improvement box stores that would make anyone other than you and your wife not notice it. You will be sorry if you have them replace it. [Reply]

The dude wants to get laid this month, you better let his wife do what she wants. [Reply]

I’m happy section 8 is available to you as well but it should probably refrain you from hopping into threads with opinions on other people’s properties [Reply]

Lmao, the guy that's never owned a home is trying to tell a guy that clearly owns an extremely nice home with a garage that he shouldn't worry about his extremely new and expensive tile job actually looking new.
No one wants your advice on anything that has to do with owning a home. Stick to what ya know such as how to be an incel, how to annoy the fuck out of your neighbors by being a shit pet owner or how to act when mommy buys you a house. If any of those topics come up, then jump on in. [Reply]

Well considering the owner of the tile company said that it can easily be fixed, then I'd probably go with the experts opinion. If the grout is the same lot # as the previous bag, then it'll be fine. Also, even if the color is slightly off you can just take some grout renew to it all an there ya go. It's all the same color. [Reply]
Without a doubt, they need to make it right. If it bothers you now it will bother you forever or until you have it fixed on your dime. You have the hammer here use it. The longer you wait gives them the old it was fine when we left it. A good contractor doesn't want shoddy work performed to ruin their name. [Reply]
