Also mate if you are a bit concerned about being to cheap and what they may think..try this one.... tell them that the reason you are cheap is because you earn your BIG money from doing the large commercial jobs and that the domestic jobs you treat as just a wage between the big ones.. and you do all this because being a tiler is something you LOVE doing and it's not all about money to you, like you said you earn your real money on the big jobs.

Say all these sort of things in the right way and your male customers will wish they could be like you and all your female customers will just want to give you one :wink_smile:

after i went back back round i took up bout 8 tiles and re set them making sure i put lots of adhesive down.
it seems to have done the job and they want me back to do the bathroom floor in a few months.
i also received two bottles of wine for my troubles so turned out ok.:)
was a big learning curve but glad it's finally over!!!
