Banana Shaped Tiles - and other issues

[tiler tom]

I had a problem once with B & Q c**p. Quoted not knowing anything about the tiles but it came out later the guy was moving on and wanted his bathroom tidying up to sell on. So he had bought the cheapest tat he could lay his hands on. The tiles were so soft and chalky you could break then with your hands needless to say that any small cuts you usually use your cutter on had to be done with the wet cutter as otherwise the corner broke off. So a job took a lot longer than first thought. That wasn't the end of it. The guy left the window cill in after cutting the front edge flush and had it tiled. I then got a call back as the cill swelled and pushed the tiles off. I re fixed them left and ignored any calls until he did one to oz.

I now actively dissuade anybody from buying B & Q and tell people cills cannot be tiled over.

20 years of self-empl...I only did one bathroom with a B&Q tile. The customer seemed happy to have a cheap tile, but it cost twice the labour to make it look half respectable, it was my first and last. With the best will in the world making a silk purse from a sow's ear.....not for me.......Gaz
