Hello all. Doing some work for Topps Tiles who have asked me to go and quote for some repair work to a tiling job done by one of their 'approved fitters'. Basically the customer isn't happy as the tiler has: -
1.) Not grouted properly. I guess by this they mean that the joints are not 'full' of grout. Topps Tiles want all the grout raked out and done properly - around 6sq m of 30x30 tiles I believe.
2.) Tiled over the threshold area. The doorway tiles need to be lifted, re-cut and obviously re-laid. Around 4 tiles with cuts around the doorway I guess.
My issues are: -
1.) How many hours is it reasonable to quote for this work? I don't need to know prices really as that depends on where in the country we all are, just a realistic amount of hours as I haven't done regrouting work before.
2.) Does anyone know of a tool that speeds the grout removal up? I was thinking of using my Fein Multimaster with carbide grinding tool attachment (carefully).
I'm viewing tomorrow PM so if anyone can voice their thoughts fairly quickly I'd appreciate it.
