Rushing to get finished!!

[enduro]

I was trying to get a job finished so was in a bit of a rush today...tiling bathroom walls and around a window. My phone rang so put a tile on the window sill that i was holding, and the bloody thing fell off and chipped the new bath :mad2: :incazzato::yikes: Customer was fine about it...got someone coming out next week to repair it. A really stupid mistake Bath was protected i thought. Must get one of those bath board things that tradetiler sells or a sheet of ply.

At least you were honest and professional enough to own up to the customer, lot's of peeps would have tried to hide it and pass the buck to someone else.....

Does tradetiler still sell them? could not see them on his site.

Better safe than sorry i say.
They are very handy and would be easy made.

We were trying to get finished off earlier yesterday & when we were clearing up i was doing a balancing act with cut tiles to go to the skip & dropped the 2 top ones.


Straight down onto my work mates THUMB, A wee trip to A/E for two stitches & not home till 8 instead of 5!!

time to get a new phone Andrew, you've had this one long enough..

Andrew, one day I was finishing a marble floor, and the suction broke loose on the cup handle thing I was using to lift the tile into place....marble had to drop straight down and chip a piece that was installed the day before !:incazzato: I lost a couple hours by the time I chipped that one out and then sorted through the rest of the stone to find one that matched well enough to fit the veining on the rest of the floor.

I've chipped tubs before, as well. arrggh!

 

[doug boardley]

oops I'd skim read your post Andrew (dog needed to go out),,,,thought it was your phone that had chipped the bath:smilewinkgrin:

Got the bath repaired today, customer very happy...cost me £90.. better than replacing the bath.

That's not bad at all. Was it an acrylic/plastic bath?

I had that happen to me about a year ago, if anyones interested or if it happens to you, you can actually by a repair kit and do it yourself, if i remember the kits about 25 quids. I now use a foam thing which I found and lay that in the bath and take my shoes off aswell if i need to stand in the bath lol.

This was a £1800.00 new bath all singing & dancing..lots of jets etc, so wanted a really good repair as i did not want to replace it.
