Mr Tiler Broke All The Tiles - Help?

[paulyoung666]

thats a first

a b&q employee that has the sense to know where to get tiles and adhesive from

that was a bit harsh , i know B&Q do not have the best reputation at times , not everyone should be tarred with the same brush though

Thanks for looking Paul...much appreciated. I'm not holding onto any hope that B&Q will still have any now. I know that somewhere in a distant B&Q stockroom there are some odd boxes, but getting them to have a thorough look won't be happening any time soon I'm sorry to say. It's a funny thing, but if it were me working there and I knew how desperate a customer was - I would hunt high and low for them, anything to help out.

Hi Nybor62 - the guy that botched the job was from Harworth, so quite local to us really. I think what I'm gonna do is hang on before I make a final decision on how to complete the job. I know it means my house is a mess for longer, but if I'm patient a while longer some of the same tiles might just turn up. Ya never know...lol. If it starts looking like there's no hope I'll certainly give ya a buzz and see what you think about trying to disguise the bald tile patch! :lol:

Ya know..I posted on here thinking it was worth a try - I never expected there to be SO many good people - willing to help and just caring about my problem. You are all a credit to the tiling profession!! A really great bunch of people who've managed to restore my faith in peeps again! :smilewinkgrin: Cheers everyone...top Banana!!

Another possibility would be "regal rock"

 

[Blondie]

Hey Sean,

Have had a look at the Regal Rock tiles. They look a little bit flatter than my tiles - not as riven..? I think I need to go to some tile showrooms with a sample, that might make it easier to compare possibly?

Am not going away peeps - will keep checking in and soon as I've finished painting the walls and kitchen doorway I will post a pic of that area. It's a bit messy at the mo so don't wanna post a mingy pic. :lol:

:smilewinkgrin: Hey hey!

There's been a turning of events.

I know this might sound a little bad. But ya know how desperate I had become to sort out my tiling mess..lol. I went to Mr Tiler's house - he lives very near my mum. He'd told me that he had some of the same tiles as mine in his garden shed when he was at my house and I decided it was worth a toddle over to have a little chatette. Hee hee.

Well..went over and turns out he didnt have the same size tiles, but he had the same ones in a bigger size..ie..600 x 600. Me thinks...yup..can be cut in two!! Yahoo! So. Am no longer short. Well..I am short...but not of tiles..lolol. :hurray:

You peeps here have been:
Super, duper, superb, great, jolly good, rinky tinky and really rather lovely.

Thankyou. Very much.

I am now tiled and back in order.

:smilewinkgrin: :smilewinkgrin: :smilewinkgrin:

Am smiling a bit here...:smilewinkgrin:

Will it be ok if I come back at some point to ask more stuff?? Would be great!!

:smilewinkgrin::smilewinkgrin:
