Topps Tiles -Love it or hate it?

[TilersTilingTiles]

Recently priced a job in a loft conversion. One bathroom and one ensuit shower room About 50m2 total with porceline floor tiles and ceramic wall tiles. The client asked me to provide a labour only quote and a seperate quote detailing the materials needed and how much I could supply it all for. Apparently topps tiles is doing a discount on materials if you buy your tiles through them too. Anyway it turned out that I could get the materials for just under half of what topps quoted even with the discount.

Topps tiles used to be our main supplier when i was an apprentice and when they used to have their own brands of adhesive were very reasonably priced.

Now some of my clients are paying £50 a bag for Bal rapid set flexi. How do they justify that!

Opened an account with Topps in Perth. The Manager, Ian could not have been more helpful. Explained how there account system workes, ie levels of discount. All he needed was my business card to open the account
Even took me through the back, to let me see what they carry in stock.
Bought stuff there & then for a job i was doing yesterday.
I think it's the same as anywhere, if your dealing with nice people, you get good service, if your not, then you dont !
