Is it just me or what!

[peterwhayward]

I went back to a customer today whose ensuite I had done about 6 months ago. He had a problem with one of the curved shower door runners failing (glad he had purchased it and not me)' anyway I had offered to replace it for him "no charge".
Well :yikes::yikes:what had they been doing to "my" ensuite?. it had obviously not been cleaned once in its very short life there was yucky bits of soap everywhere in the shower, and congealed who knows what in the corner. the doors were so lime scale stained you could only just see through them and more hair and bits hanging around than I've ever had in my life.

When I leave a job its spotless, I always feel good about what I've done and usually the improvement over what was there is plain to see. I always consider (this is where title comes in......"is it just me or what") the room that I'm doing to be mine until I leave the job finished and looking perfect for the customer. It hurts to see a good job going to ruin, especially in such a short time.

Don't worry about it!
You got paid, took a photo, and moved on.
Ive got photos going back 30 years and that's how I remember them. Some jobs these days are not worth archiving.
People live differently!

It's not just you. I've been back to a customers that I finished on Friday, been back to pick up money this afternoon and plumbers were in. Well what can I say, filth, dirt and tile dust from drilling everywhere. No dust sheets down, stood in the shower tray in boots. I give up. Luckily the customer was happy with my work and has paid me.

Shut the door on it and forget about it, sometimes you just have to do that!!! Sad but true.

I find it really irritating too, you go to all the bother to leave a perfect finish , and whilst achieving this you keep the place clean and tidy , dust sheets laid everywhere , shower tray's, baths and basins all covered ! I know where your coming from!! But as long as you get recommended from it , I guess it's all worth it!

I know where your all coming from, and I should just do the job and go. I suppose its a good thing that I don't often go back to see a job I've done it must mean there's no problems and every thing is okay. Its just disappointing to see it going down hill after such a short period of time..........oh well onward and upward....next job please.:8:

It never ceases to amaze me that even though they knew you were coming back they never bothered to clean up, and i don't just mean because you tiled it but simply out of self respect or what you may think of their filth. Surly they must know that you are thinking what dirty buggers they are or maybe they genuinely don't care what we think.........Who knows :mad2:
