hello folks,
im hoping for a bit of sound advice here cos i'm a little in the soup!
ok i have a floor of 40m2 where i have laid a honed limestone light beige (quite shiny too) floor tile.
this is my problem:
the houseowner has been a nightmare and on my back since day one even though he booked me for tuesday and the tiles didnt arive till thursday!
anyway onto my problem!:
i left the job on monday with a view to coming back on thursday to clean and seal..
impatient guy decides to clean tiles himslef with a grout/ cement remover of which he spent all day doing, then at the end of the day he goes and applies a coat of lithofin stain stop!.
so to cut story short he sealed it without cleaning it properley and sealed it whilst it must have still had some moisture content.
now he has what looks like smear marks all over every tile and blames it on the fact that i got adhesive over the tiles!!.
obviously the relationship is a little sour between us now and this has reulted in him bringing in another tiler to quote to put the job right.
the tiler has quoted to apply WEXA to the floor with some type of machine and then re-seal the floor.
here is my problem /s
lithofin says that wexa doesnt remove sealer??? shouldnt a sealer remover be used? and then the adhesive be scrubbed off??
what is the machine he would be using,
does the sealer even need stripping??
what insults me even more is that the other guy's price is twice what i charged to lay them in the 1st place! (( thats if im getting the true picture!! ))
in the interest of ggod will - and to get paid - i want to sort the job out and have a happy customer so all advice is gratefully received!!
help!!!!!!!!!!!!
ps - sorry about the long post!
