I've been doing a job this week where the customers had a very strict budget for me to work to, when I went round to price it it was very obvious that even a re-skim of the walls wouldn't be good enough to sort the bathroom out, it really needed taking back to the brick and reboarding, but this would have added another £500 to the bill which they couldn't afford so I agreed to tile over the walls as they were (sorted out all the dips etc as normal) the room has turned out better than I expected, but it took a lot of packing out which I'm not happy doing (they were thin ceramics so no weight issues thankfully). They are really happy with it but I can see a few places that could have turned out better especially the cuts to the ceiling which vary from 160mm to 200mm. If I refused to do it without a reboard I would have lost the job, so, do you take on a job knowing it won't be 100% or walk away and lose a weeks work? Don't get me wrong, I've not cut any corners or used inferior products or fixing techniques, it's just that I'm only 95% happy with the outcome.
