[Mr Tiler]

on the way back from work stopped off to do a quote for someone and basically she wants the cheapest dark grey or black floor tiles I can find so told her I would have a look around... the cheapest I know of is b&q £14 per m2 300x300.

on a floor

I was given the same task a few months ago. Anything I came up with was too expensive. It all depends on how many metres you need, but ebay was the cheapest. However, if you have to do a lot of cutting then cheap tiles will cost more of your time because they will not break in the places you want them to break.

I did not do the job I was asked to do because there were 6 doorways to cut and there was one full tile down the hallway. Basically every single tile needed cutting.

 

[Mr Tiler]

lol sound mate, 2 doorways from the kitchen through to the toilet on this one but there will be a lot of cuts to go in around the units. cheers

[Mr Tiler]

yeh I have used them before... 3mm joint on them is just enough lol

 

[prceramics]

let them do the leg work mate you won't get paid for doing it

 

[Andy Allen]

I wouldn't waste you're time. Tell her to go buy some tiles then you can see what she got and price accordingly. ....wouldn't hold your breath though customers that ask for cheap tiles want cheap fixers too...

 

[cam_low]

topps do a black one...£9 a m2 I think

 

[thompsonbrown]

Have a look on wallsandfloors.co.uk for cheap tiles Ash

 

[Mr Tiler]

cheers guys.

 

[Mr Tiler]

any body used this supplier before? what you think of these ones? cheers http://www.wallsandfloors.co.uk/cat...matt-black-and-white-floor-tiles-negro/17973/

 

[jonnyc]

Ash you won't make any money on supply if client is so price conscious .so don't waste your time. Suggest a place they could buy if you like and cost accordingly to what they buy.

 

[White Room]

Tell them to get her own tiles and let them use their fuel and time not yours...

Ordered some Matt white 600x300 tonight! Good price and the sample they sent was nearly identical to the tile the customer was supplying. £20 a metre saving ( for me that is!:8

Same as Cam, landlord I tile for uses an ivory from Topps, it's cheap & not great size wise, you get it in black/dark, but it's what she always goes for.
She is always trying to save a pound or 2.
Oh & she just took delivery of this on Monday,

 

[TJ Smiler]

Ash, i wouldn't bother with it mate..... They won't be happy with your attempt to make Poo smell nice anyway, and god forbid you say the end finish isn't perfect because the tiles are different size and bent and bowed, at this point they would then throw it in your face that you chose them...... You won't win bud

 

[Mr Tiler]
