What a day

I'm on my second job in a row where they haven't got ANY tiles! bloody magician me you know
 
yep did a big job last year with the payless stuff, all potware was payless too. The ironic thing is that customer owns the biggest mint cake manufacturer in Kendal and will be one of the richest men in Lake District, but he's a real cheapskate.
 
Hope your getting more than £8/metre for your trouble on this one Neale?


Hell yeah, Usually the builder is cool but he hasnt had anything to do with the tiles on this job. Client is penny pinching IMO although he is a nice guy. I guess the temptation to save some money is too great and they dont realise the issues that we have when it comes to fixing the tiles.
 
I think your right - customers don't know what they should be paying for tiles and what quality they should be receiving for their money - until we fix them and then they always find a fault ( usually a pinhole in the glaze on a cut behind the cistern!)
