Hi Mr tea bag!

as per " Is anyone local to wolverhampton who would be willing to come out and give us an independent view on problems and costs to put things right which can be put in writing. Also how much you are able to offer this service for?"

If you have a contact number and we can have a chat, drop it in a pm.

Simons70 - I can hardly agree with anything you posted above! You suggest changing the tiles in the corner and it will give a decent bathroom! The customer is paying for a professional job not work of this standard and they will do it time and time again if you allow them to get away with it!
However your last comment just about sums it up - if you do it, it will be 'acceptable, not perfect'!
The customer pay 500£ for 4 days,mind 55£ a day work,this is not price for proffesional tiler,honestly a laborer ask more money just for clean the site,no responsability.I just suggest to give him some tricks for have a decent bathroom,if I see the job,I never intend to do this job,I just try to help him to save some money,like want;''who would be willing to come out and give us an independent view on problems and costs to put things right '',and not take out all and do again.What you expect with 55£ a day??Just a decent blade cost this money....

Sorry if that seemed misleading, when i asked that, this is meant for my documentation purposes only, this bathroom will be gutted and redone from start to finish.

Mr Tiler

certainly for my work to be guaranteed it would have to be stripped back and completely re-done otherwise you are simply ''polishing the turd''... back to brick if need be as the adhesive used is more than likely going to rip any boards on the walls to pieces. go with neale though he is a brilliant tiler and has many years of experience.
