Balls to him! If he rings back tell him you have picked up a new contract and you wouldn't even consider doing a little job like that anymore! At the end of the day he is only going to be difficult if you do it and people like that never recommend you.......

Some customers - God love em!

I quoted for a rush job last month for a medium size builder, 6 days work with a deadline as other subcontractors needed to get in after me. I gave them a very competitive price - (to get in with them - i'm sure you know what i mean).

I rang them after a couple of days to be told they could get it done a lot cheaper (must of been free). The phone rang on Friday night at 6.30pm asking me if i'd still be interested in the job, i said know not really why? They said that 2 tiliers turned up and made a complete hash of the job and it needs cleaning up and starting again, we'd really like you to help - O.K. then i say - i'll be there with 2 guys 7.00am Monday morning but it will be billed at twice my standard rate, there response was Fine we know you'll do a good job.

The job will be finished tomorrow late evening, 2 guys doing a double shift for 3 days to hit the deadline. And i have noe been contracted to do all there tiling work.

Remember - How much do you think your worth?

Tell him your to busy.

Regards

Tell him to go and ride his uncles moustache.....

or

if he's in a jam, tell him you could do it but you'd have to 'bump' another customer back a few days and tell him because of that the price is now £350 + mats🙂
