So I'm having trouble with a customer relating to grout (Bal Micromax)
I have tiled 70 sq metres of Porcelanosa 60 x 60 polished porcelain tiles on a job.
The customer supplied everything apart from the floor adhesive and primer. They went to CTD in Stirling to find an appropriate grout to...
I've been tiling for 12 years now never really had problems with customers till now!
started work on a house before xmas where we did 3 bathrooms, first two went well got paid for them in November everything great. then started the third bathroom everything great customer said he is well pleased...
I did a quote today and asked for the customers email address.
'We don't have email' was the reply.
Not to worry, i'll phone them later.
Well, I've produced a quote, but of course there is too much information to convey over the phone so I printed off the 2 sheets of the quote.
My blue ink...

In case you missed it change to the rules came in on 13th June 2014
- completely replacing the Cancellation of Contracts made in Consumers' Homes or Place of Work Regs 2008 - that required 7 days notice and we had to give the customer a special bit of paper with the details of their rights on...
I'm used to being offered cups of hot & cold drinks from customers, but not an afternoon in the hot tub!!!! A refreshing change from the norm I guess!
So what things have we all had from customers of late?
I cancelled a job i had booked in due to the customer doing my head in with his tile choice.
When I quoted the job i spent a lot of time explaining how different types of tiles costs different amounts to fix. It was decided i would price for a basic glazed ceramic or glazed porcelain tile...
I've just completed a 15 m2 toilet walls and 3 m2 mosaic floor. As you walk into the room the window is not central to the wall, the boxing in built for the toilet is. The big square silver flush box is central to the boxing is so in setting out I centered the flush. I was on the job for two...
This was installed by a so called tiler/bathroom fitter. As you can see it was all ripped out. The shower trap was connected to nothing so the water would have poured through the ceiling, the shower screen was not fixed together so if the the customer leaned against it it would have separated...

My customer has supplied me with Mapei cement based adhesive, Tile Giant must have sold it to them with the tiles and they did this before they contacted me.
I always use Ultra products as that is all my local tile shop stock, can I use Ultra acrylic primer for a Mapei adhesive or has it got to...
Just need to share this, I am working for a female engineer, she is doing my head in, I think I might cut my losses and pull off the job.
To cut a long story short, she engaged me to tile a wet room, a bathroom, a kitchen floor in slate, and a ground floor Cloaks.
I have been on the job a...
I was talking to a customer last week, and he told me that a mirror tile fell off the bathroom wall, smashed the sink, and some of the broken pieces hit his mums boyfriend in his face... and cut the tip of his nose off!! :yikes:

Popped into Topps this morning to collect an order & they asked me if I was taking away the Travertine too. Told them I don't have a Travertine job. It was put through my discount. After further investigation, found out it was a customer I quoted for months ago. She wanted me to start right away...
Whilst I have never priced a job to not get it, I fear if I price high on this job I might just end up getting it!
There is just too many things going against this job!
