Just lost a job after the customer said to me "the jobs yours, I accept your quote" and a week later he tells me he no longer wants to pay to straighten the walls as his builder mate said it was ok to tile onto, and you dont need to sort out the floorboards as you can chipboard it and tile it.

I laughed, bid him good luck, and placed the phone down. One wall needed dry-lining, the other 3 were ok. The floor needed fixing, overboarding properly, and I priced up some ditra matting at cost as he has Marble floor tiles. All this prep wont be done, I know it. Can you imagine the mess?

Hopefully I get a sheepish phone call in a few weeks

edit: and I might just be tempted to laugh really hard, and put the phone down

Part 2, gave a friend of mine a quote before xmas, was told I was going to be too much money and that they would be going with a bathroom firm that deals with everything. So this firm ripped everything out, sorted out the walls (did they Mind your language!) and re-tiled. Yes, they fitted the electric shower and cut round it, yes that is black grout instead of silicone sealing it in The bath has been sealed with grout also lol!
