I have a Tile Source near me. The discount on tiles has always been pretty disappointing. I like my 30% minimum off retail.

Excellent choice of tiling related gear though.

It's not all about the money I think you would be the first to say you are not the cheapest bathroom installer

I take it ‘mrs-stone-store.com’ is a dirty word on this forum...

As well as prices, discounts should not be discussed in open forum!

All dirty words are automatically edited so sh•te becomes rubbish!

Love it!

Hahaha! Well that website looks like the example of cheap split stone being difficult to install and looking bad. I’ll check my local independents for better products

My business model is the supply and install of complete bathrooms so losing money on the supply of something is the equavalent of a day rate Tiler reducing his day rate.

That said, I have sacrificed my margins many times to get a better looking job done. As a general rule though, it would be business suicide to start recommending products that I make very little money on.
