tiling disasters

[laurami tiling]

ok guys time to honest now
what disaster has happend to you when youve been tiling and how did you cope or get out of it.

mine was on my 2nd ever bathroom job i dropped a tile in a brand new jacuzi bath,
i used a duvet in bath but 1 bit about 6 ins sq was uncoverd an guess where tile hit , yup knocked a lovely chip out of bath bottom ,
me arse fell oot all over the place an thought i was f@~*ed but good old yellow pages found me a guy who repaired chips n things in baths ,cost me forty squid but what a job customer never noticed a thing. have to admit i was a nervous wreck for days after.
but i now sleep with this guys number under me pillow even offered to have his babies lol
though him been a bloke and twenty stone did put a damper on it:wink_smile:

Great post, Ihad a tile fall off a wall with so called non slip adh,fell onto worktop and had to claim on my public liability,for all new ones.Luckily I priced a quote for retiling the job on my own insurance lol and got it massivly inflated.The most scary was in aplace called quernmore hall nr Lancaster,nailed through a pipe upstairs bathroom floor and went home for the weekend.The music room below had a steinway piano I **** you not! the water came down on it but luckily ran off the laquer and onto the floor.The curator/butler spotted the leak and isolated it PHEW!!!!!!never had to claim disaster was overted

In my early days i stupidly decided to pour my excess grout down the bath. im sure you can guess what happened next. luckily the customer was understanding and i got it sorted at my own expense. lesson learned!
