need advice about job i just looked at

[DevonR]

What the "$&^%*^()^&$(&%(& was that!!! That wasn't a bathroom it was a bombsite!!!!

Tell the customer to wedge their head in the hole between the shower tray and the wall, whilst u repeatedly kick them up their dumb ***!!

How can a customer even contemplate tilng straight over that ****e??

The thing is someone else will go in there (probably Polish!!) and do it! When they do , and it all comes crashing down on top of Mrs Smith whilst she's baring her cheeky behind in the shower then you can go in and say "told ya so u pair of elephant testicles" and do the job how it was meant to be done!!!

Good luck. 🙂


Sorry i've had a ****e day 🙂

So what exactly are you trying to say here?

:wink_smile:

HI STEVEP,by reading between the lines it sounds like they want the job done quick as they have called you back and also asking to bring the bottom tile out to meet the shower tray,they obviously dont have a scooby doo m8.Furthermore they probably want it done cheap.

My advice to you would be go back and tell them exactly what the boys have told you to do above and say you dont want the job unless its done your way ie.boarding out ,tanking,removal of sanitaryware etc

just phoned they asked me if i could do it i've never done it before so got me cousin going to look and give them a price tomorrow.
then we'll see where we at told them that i wouldn't want to do the job the way it is and wouldn't want to take it on if i'm not 100% happy the way it is going to look.



Thats the way mate, be upfront with the custmer and they'll appreciate your honesty.
good prep work makes life easier for you. GOOD LUCK hope it goes well.. dave!!

steve im with dave all the way on this one the prep is the finish

Steve,
that aint a tiling job mate...that's a rebuild.

Tiling alone I'd say £300 without the gear...as far as Aldi goes, it's great for beans...bread....and garlic chicken!

Absolutely refuse to use their supplied adhesive etc, once it's on the wall the responsibility is yours, ie: your rep.

If you can, help your cousin do the prep work and learn mate and next time you can add another £400 to £550 to make good. 🙂

Love your advice dave, spot on m8, good to see another guy doin it right and best of all gives the right advise to those who are fresh to the job and doesnt point them in the wrong direction. Big up dave!!!

cheers for all the advice people 🙂

only thing is my cousin couldn't make it yesterday so they decided to get sum1 else.
don't know if they got someone to board it all or just do tiling the way they wanted it.

but i have learnt a valueable lesson which is tell them there and then if other work needs doing before i even think about tiling, some people just think tilers are builders for some reason.

I'm glad this fell through for you mate, it was a dissaster waiting to happen, however wall repairing is part of the job and it's one of the most valuable skills to learn....preperation in this game is everything.

Never take on a job where the customer is telling you that you can 'just pack it out' these people are trouble and cheapskates, they don't beleive a word you say and when at the end of the job it looks **** (like you told them it would) they then blame you......so if they don't wanna straighten the wall or pay you to do it, tell em to **** off and then stab em with a blunt knife!
