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?

It's a KAREN thing!
I don’t plan on selling this house. We really like it, hence all the upgrades. [Reply]

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.
I don’t know the first thing about this, but DO NOT REPLACE was an unexpected answer. [Reply]
