Fitting of accessories after tiling.

[Droopy]

So far I have done them for free, but the last one started to take the p!$$.

They asked if I would do toilet roll holder and a 4ft mirror after the tiling, I said yes.
Bathroom tiled and grouted, drilled in bog roll holder then the mirror, then out came a shower rail holder, new shower chrome pipe to connect to the bath taps, a window blind and a shower screen.
I did everything baring the shower screen, I didn't have a ceramic drill bit small enough for some of the screen fittings, and also If I didn't get the shower screen 100% right, then it may leak, and any leaking from a shower screen would be my problem, had vissions of water through the downstairs ceiling and said I can't do that, no drill bits.

Did everything else for free, though some do take the p!$$ a bit.

That's why i don't do it at all.
Too many folk extract the urine.
I now tell them that they need to wait another day or so for everything to be 100% set.

Good one Drew....its a good pitch mate...you can then justify charging, because you have to make special trip out.....Gaz

There is nothing worse than, after a long day, the customer coming out with an endless line of soap dishes and towell rings for you to fit.

oh, there is one thing worse. That's when they expect it done FREE:mad2: :lol:

When I said I do it free I should have said but only for toilet roll holder, towel ring/rail and soap dish holder. If I am asked to do cupboards, mirrors, shower screens or other larger fittings I just say I don't have time.
