How much did pay him to do the job John....

He'd quoted 3k to rip out and refit bathroom not including any materials, customer to provide all bath, taps, toilet, tiles, etc. Turns out he introduced a tiler to the job who then couldn't do the job, due to various circumstances so the builder did it himself, as he was on a deadline to start another job. They still owe him £300 and will not pay him. I went to look at this job as I was working next door and the guy has seen my work now. Asked me to look at it. Told him it all needs to come out, but the guy must have a chance to rectify at his cost the mistakes that have been made.

He has be given the chance to rectify, can't see much chance of that happening though....I feel slow when I read that.

Heard somethink similar today about speed and must admit get sick of hearing it...the quality is kak John and the customer has to pay again, it never ends.

Told him for that I would work on a day rate + materials and gave him the cost per day, and he seemed happy to pay that if I end up re-doing it for him. :drool5:

I know it was done with tubbed addy for 500x330 tiles and he used tubbed addy for timber of floor. Walls have been re-plastered

If you have e-mail on your phone you can send the pics to your own mail address and then fire up mail on PC/laptop and it should be there, save the attachment to your hard drive and then upload on to here.

As said before why do people pay for shoddy work. 3k to rip out and refit not including mats in 2 days if i was charging that I'd be a millionaire i put aside two weeks for full bathroom normally take 7-8 days and still wouldn't be 3k

The 3k was for the labour on the whole bathroom, but when the tiler couldn't do the job the builder did it instead, and he tiled it in 2 days to finish the job. I think he did finish the job in the true sense of the word!!!!

Hey don't knock it, clearly a good quality vinyl makes an excellent substrate. Waterproof, flexible....just like Dural......

Just read through this thread and seen some proper horrors. Saw something like this a couple of times;



What is the correct way to do this sort of cut? would you go to the trouble of getting the system drained, removing the rad valve and drilling the tile?

see cut outs all the time,sometimes the customers wont pay for the rads to be removed leaving no option

core cut the pipe holes is the best way if possible and also pipe covers to finsih look better
