BE WARNED! tip of the day.

Doing a bathroom this week, the guy had bought all the materials started of with Maxswells adhesive and i feared the worst! I was really surprised how good it was ( £8.99 retail) when that ran out i went on to the B&Q adhesive, what a load of ****e and it was more expensive, gave the customer a live demonstration of how useless this product was and he agreed! Use that product at your peril. Another friendly tip from the top!

just a question,why did you use the b&q stuff if you knew it was crap,or was it just a demo and you used your tried and trusted adhesive?

 

[brodxx]

I started to use the b&q stuff because that is what the customer had bought, needless to say it was binned then i went and bought my usual ( ultra)

Should always supply your own materials m8, i won't do it any other way :wink_smile:

I agree. You can usually persuade the customer to allow you to get the adhesives if you give them a little of the discount on it.

You really should be trusting those adhesives that score high in the Poll HERE though people!

if the customer has bought the adhesive b&Q , homebase crap etc ,i ask how much they paid for it ,tel them how crap it is then tell them to take it back and get there money back , then tell them yours is cheaper and better and is included in the price . they think they are getting it for nothing after getting there money back at the store . and are generaly chuffed to bits for saving them money ,
