have to agree with you there enduro

Not slapping customers who try to manipulate you into doing things for free. :59:

Other than that, I'd have to say making nice and even grout lines with cheap, supposedly "caliberated" tiles. Unfailingly, the customers who buy that sort of cheapo crap want the grout lines to be rrreeeaaal thin... Try making straight 1 or 2mm grout lines with tiles which differ 1-3mm from each other :rofl:

:mad2: Yeah I agree with sWe,cheap £3 a box tiles,no matter how straight you get them ,they never seem to match up exactly, also if you do the grout lines too thin, the biscuit shows through,as one our customers politely pointed out. Oh and the need to use so much adhesive on the backs of tiles,cant keep doing that,have used nearly six tubs on a 15m2 bathroom.No more thats for sure. ggggggrrrrrrrr!
