Best Suppliers in Swansea?

[simongilmore]

Can anyone recommend a cheap supplier for addy etc in the Swansea area? At the moment I find Selco cheap for tubbed Dunlop gear but their powdered range is poor. Tried Topps but dont want a second mortgage just yet! Any Suggestions would be welcomed.

Hi Simon,

If you have to use Topps, they do a Bal product and rebrand it as Toppfix, at a third of the price. Worth talking to them.

I bought some a few weeks back and the guy said it was made by Bal, but they'd rebranded it under their own name, it was a grey single part flexi, and it certainly seemed similarr to Bal's spf, but I suppose they can tell you anything, it's not as if I was going to ring Bal up:smilewinkgrin:

Maybe they have.. i never use topps.... so many comps re-brand and who knows who supplies who..:lol:

but i do know toppfix was palace gear but might have swapped..

What kind of price would you expect to pay for bagged flexi wall/floor addy? The best I can find so far is £14 at Selco for Dunlop, and second best £20 for Nicobond Rapid flex. Both 20kg bags.

Expect to pay just into double figures for your average spf. You might have to argue with Topps that you're trade though, that's why I don't deal with them. I went in to buy an spf, picked up a bag of branded Bal adhesive with my overalls on showing the name of my company and covered in tile addy and silicon, (obviously a tiler!!) and they rang the price through the till of approx £45:yikes::yikes: to which I said something along the lines of "you're having a laugh" with more expletives attached, then said "forget it"I was going to go 5 or so miles down the road where I could get an spf for a third of the price. He suddenly remembered that he had some toppfix out the back which was made by Bal and about the price I was talking about, so I was then sorted. But you just don't get this sort of crap from any of the others. Oh yeah, the manager was advising this young lad at the time. Outrageous!!
