Careful this could give you a HEART ATTACK

[CJ CERAMICS]

This is a job that i went to quote on (last month) and lost due to being £150.00 more expensive than the bloke who eventually got the job.
ensuite consisting of cream/brown tiles 600 x250 to be tiled brick bond. The customer said that due to the price difference and the fact that i refused to lower my price they thought that i was trying to make more money than the job was actually worth. They phoned me up on Sunday to see if there was anything i could do to put the job right. After taking photos of the job i suggested that sadly this was unrepairable in my view and i would give them a quote to rip out and replace the tiles.....
got a phone call today to say that my price was again overpriced and that they had decided that they only wanted it grouted......Seriously what are people thinking these days.

I have lost 5 jobs to this cowboy in the past 2 months all good paying jobs but this is the first time i have had chance to look at his work. Oh and he has been paid but hasn't grouted it?????? oh and guess what he is not answering his phone. OH and guess how they are fixed to the wall?????

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED THIS IS NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED.




Nice aint it !!!!!

OOH mY GOD!! :yikes: That is so sad and just unbelievably shocking. You know what I would do? I would make a slideshow of these photos, like a video (Rob - Colour Republic and I both put some together for our sites, (of the good stuff , it's easy, anyhow, make a video from it an put in on YouTube with some relevant text, with or without the guys name, but so that you can show potential customers what they would be getting. This is disgusting.

Oh, and meant to ask, on pics 9 and 10, or was it 10/11? Are those cracks in the tile or pencil marks? :nonod:

That is super special! They'll need a fair bit of grout to fix that!

I wonder if any of the mags (TSJ) or (TileUK) would reprint them?

Classy!

I currently recieve "Installer" Gas Fitters mag for Corgi / Gas safe. One of the best bits of the mags are the bodge job photos.....
Its worth a read to see the readers pics of bodged gas equip.

I wonder if either mag would run them to amuse their readers? Just a thought.

PS: I have changed my mind and the above is now my favourite!! !
