I am hoping to get some advice. I am paying a lot of money to have a new bathroom installed. To do this job the contractor completely gutted the old bathroom, the walls were completely open. I came home today to take a look at the tiling, and I noticed that the shower valve and head are about 2.5 inches off center. you can see in the picture that the valve should be in line with the center of the tile and it's obviously wide. It doesn't line up with the drain or the light which are centered to the middle of the stall.
I feel pretty upset about this, seems like a mistake to me. Before I raise a big stink with the contractor, I want to know if there is any excuse for this not being centered and also would it be a massive job to move it to the center now that the tiling has been done? I have enough spare tiles left over depending how much would need to be removed to rectify this.
Am I over-reacting or is this a mistake on my contractor's part? Would I be within my rights to insist he puts this right at his expense? As I say, this is a complete renovation done at great expense - all the walls were open and they already moved the shower from where it was in the old bathroom so I can't see why they couldn't make the adjustment. Any advice would be hugely appreciated!
