I went to a friends house in Sandbach today, she has been asking me to call around for a month or so to look at the 'siliconing' and other work carried out by the plumber. I did the tiling months back, she is a single Mum, not a lot of money and so I charge her peanuts but I have to fit her in when I am not so busy.
I get there after the school run and look at the mess the guy has left her in, bath panel off, end panel off in the main bathroom, 'silicone' in the en-suite was filthy and peeling, on closer inspection it turned out to be decorators chaulk and a cheap one at that. It came off easily and I soon cleaned the area up before applying the real stuff, he hadn't even sealed the shower enclosure! :incazzato: The bath was set 50mm too low so I had to cut loads off the panels to get them in.
She saved for ages to buy the materials and it really p's me off that he took her cash and ran, NOT FUNNY Mr so called plumber !
I hope you come on this forum and read this thread, although that's unlikely as 99.9% of the guys on here have more scruples in their little toe than you have in your whole body.
When I met you you said that you know the Tilersforums and that you are a member, well take note! keep ripping people off and it will come back and bite you, I fixed all your shoddy work for nothing mate!! taking money off vulnerable people is the pits :incazzato::incazzato:
if you continue to rip people off just remember, "what goes around, comes around" You charged her £400 for two days work plus parts, I charged her nowt today because of the state she was in.
I really wish I could put your name on here pal, your a disgrace to your trade.
