What are your bug bears in tiling...

[Mike]

this is what bugs me, customers who dont know what they're doing. i had to smash out 3 large porcs out of this finished wall for the plumber to sink his pipes. cutomers 'forgot' what tap they were having:mad2:

I'd have to say cutting outside in the freezing cold! That said the cutters that don't get you wet are much cheaper now and I think I'd have one of those if I were tiling still.

in the case of my mosaics - tiny glass cuts on my fingers... the little splinters you can hardly see, and the tiny nylon fibres from the mesh, too, however careful I am...

Removing toiletries, toilet roll, towels from bathroom prior to tiling!!! Grrrrrr!!!

Customers who really helpfully prep and then prime walls with PVA!!!
