[Mr Tiler]

on the way back from work stopped off to do a quote for someone and basically she wants the cheapest dark grey or black floor tiles I can find so told her I would have a look around... the cheapest I know of is b&q £14 per m2 300x300.

on a floor

I was given the same task a few months ago. Anything I came up with was too expensive. It all depends on how many metres you need, but ebay was the cheapest. However, if you have to do a lot of cutting then cheap tiles will cost more of your time because they will not break in the places you want them to break.

I did not do the job I was asked to do because there were 6 doorways to cut and there was one full tile down the hallway. Basically every single tile needed cutting.

 

[Mr Tiler]

lol sound mate, 2 doorways from the kitchen through to the toilet on this one but there will be a lot of cuts to go in around the units. cheers

[Mr Tiler]

yeh I have used them before... 3mm joint on them is just enough lol

 

[prceramics]

let them do the leg work mate you won't get paid for doing it

 

[Andy Allen]

I wouldn't waste you're time. Tell her to go buy some tiles then you can see what she got and price accordingly. ....wouldn't hold your breath though customers that ask for cheap tiles want cheap fixers too...

 

[cam_low]

topps do a black one...£9 a m2 I think

 

[thompsonbrown]

[Mr Tiler]

any body used this supplier before? what you think of these ones? cheers http://www.wallsandfloors.co.uk/cat...matt-black-and-white-floor-tiles-negro/17973/

 

[jonnyc]

Ash you won't make any money on supply if client is so price conscious .so don't waste your time. Suggest a place they could buy if you like and cost accordingly to what they buy.

 

[White Room]

Tell them to get her own tiles and let them use their fuel and time not yours...

Ordered some Matt white 600x300 tonight! Good price and the sample they sent was nearly identical to the tile the customer was supplying. £20 a metre saving ( for me that is!:8
