never had this happen before..

[On one]

Yep, had it happen to many years ago. The architect had chosen the kitchen splashback tiles when the lady customer was unable to pick them because of illness. Let my self in,started tiling away,mid morning she comes down,didn't like them........off they came!

Had a client do the same before xmas. 100mts in a large kitchen/conservatory. 600x400 classic trav filled and honed laid b/b. Laid 60mts and all was fine, lady kept looking in and loving it over 4 days. Got a crying phone call 4th night. She hates it and cant live with it (even tho her sister has the same and shes copying as she likes it so much!)
Take it up and change it to a random brick bond. Same tile, same setting out point. Obviously couldn't save the tiles and had to latex the entire area to get a new level playing field. Luckily her husband was away on a business/golf trip with the Glazers!
Extra £4k and a promise to not to tell him. Thanks very much

Sent my wife away while I tiled the Kitchen Dining room and hall. 60 x 60 porcelain nice tile 38 metres. Wife came home and could not believe they were matt and not polished:mad2::mad2: ...Anyway 18 months later they are still down and i think finally she is starting to like them. Though probably wrong!

Think of it this way Andy, it could just be an excuse to get you back in the house!!!

Yes Andy I have had a situation like this...except it was my own bathroom!!! I had it mosaiced, got to the end, walked in once it was grouted up and said OMG I hate it! I thought it would grow on me...no amount of new towels and bathmats can persuade me differently...the bloody mosaic has to be ripped out! It may be a woman thing, or just the fact that im fickle!

[Time's Ran Out]

We did a black marble floor in Durham over electric Ufh cable. Husband stood and watched for an hour. Got back the next day and was told they should have been white!! Apparently he thought his wife had changed her mind. We were just fitting so had no previous involvement in design.

Hey ho...more work for me.

 

[Lee@emctiles]

tiled a kitchen walls today, customer came in just as I was finishing, said I hate it...:yikes: not the tiling, but the tiles she bought, she paid me for the job, then by the time I had got home she rang to book me in to retile it, her husbands going to take them all off again...:lol:...really do wonder about some folks..lol

From a retailers point of view......i think this happens a hell of a lot!
