Estimated a kitchen splashback this morning 4 sq m with a bit of prep to do before tiling, and loads and loads of fidly wee cuts , all quite time consuming ,and according to the woman she can't get a tiler anywhere ,and the kitchen has been waiting for 3 months. So I said be about £120 including materials (quite cheap I think cause i'm trying to build a good rep) and she says she will speak to hubby and phone me later. About 2 hours later i get a phone call asking how much i charge per sq m to which i said I don't give prices over the phone without seeing the job and he says well its about 2.5 to 3.5 sq m how much will it be? so i said can I come and have a look and he says I'll phone later on tonight when i get home- ok I reply and he hung up.

I phoned him back and asked his name and address and turns out he is the hubby from the estimate this morning , so i said i take it you thought the price was to dear ?and he says ,i thought it was outrageous!!

I said it was probably going to take most of a day and back the following day to grout, not to mention the work to be done filling holes etc the night before to which he replied rubbish it'll only take you 3 hours!! so i told him well if you know all this and your so f*@$in clever then do it yourself you Ar&@l*e cause i'm not working for nothing

What a To$%*r
