Oh and B&Q tiles, the ones that are so cheap the customer thinks they have got a great deal, untill they realise there all warped and all different sizes .

Kitchen splashbacks. I get no enjoyment from them what so ever, I'd rather do 10 window reveals than a kitchen splashback!

 

[Spud]

enjoy the tiling but dislike the business side, doing the paper work and chasing people for money is what i hate the most

 

[Daz]

I hate rectifying jobs that have been bodged by plumbers, plasterers and chippies 'cos they thought that tiling was easy! It's twice as much work and is, unfortunately, becoming more common.

 

[Scott]

tax bills, filling the van with diesel these days, stroppy customers, cutting tiles, drilling stone, porcelain, granite. Fitting accessories, grouting, in fact im struggling to think of anything i like to do with tiling at the moment
