I've been back to see them this morning, to approve the exact design of the geometric border, inparticular over the wider than normal door...

    Victorian tiles

    Well John, this is the same job I was talking about in the arms. One point I did get wrong is the border, it is Arundel with modified Kingsley border. Not bronte as shown in the brochure. I'm actually booked for another job on the 24th (despite being out of work for 6 weeks, I could now get...

    Victorian tiles

    My only reason for asking is because I got the impression the customer already had a quote, and they were hunting for a cheaper price. I called my supplier to ask about any leads at 4:30pm yesterday. So they only had that information for 30 mins before closing @ 5pm At 9pm I received a call...

    Fuming with job robbing plumbers

    +1 a deposit for booking me is the latest term to be added to my conditions. Materials + 20% of labour non-refundable, balance payable upon satisfactory completion. I feel that is fair, as they get the materials and the slot in my diary confirmed. Then if they change the date, or cancel, I...

    Been a while!

    Ok, but only if it's dry and use a fine grit sand for lube :lol: 9pm, my phone just rang with a customer wanting a quote. Was refered to me by a supplier I have already done some jobs for, but I not had any referals off them for a few months. I called them earlier today, just to remind them...

    Best Tile Adhesive for Walls and Floors? Voting is now CLOSED - Results are in!! Well done MAPEI!

    Mapei for me. Mapeker, P9, Keraflex and Keraquick get me through most situations. Grey or white depends on the tile I'm fixing or the grout colour. I use Granfix on the odd occasion my supplier is out of stock on Mapei stuff, and waiting on a delivery.

    Mistakenly rushed out and bought a rubi washboy soon after finishing my tiling course 2 yrs ago. Used a karl dahm one on the course, and I can't wait till my rubi one finally gets retired. Still, I always have 2 or 3 grout floats for different shades, and only use segmented sponges. Trick is...
