I hope he plys the walls, dot n dabs and stains every last tile.

Were you meant to start today?

No starting Friday when my new toy arrives.

What gets me is the fact he hunted a tiler out on here and he lives literally 50 doors up the street now the plumbers are doing it.

Usual from plumbers..

Oh I can do that!!!

Would like to hear him/her on the Phone when it all goes Pete Tong.

"Rock bottom Price"

Gonna be a rock bottom job.

go slash his tyres ....robbing git...!!!...this just about sum's up everything we've been on about lately, every other trade thinking anyone can tile..

 

[Colour Republic]

What a ******! That's both the plumber and the customer!

 

[cam_low]

If you's didn't guess by the name the wholes jobs travertine. Polished edges etc i was providing, told him I'll fix it when it goes wrong. Second issue was I stuck a 9p on the cc thinking this job would cover it...cheers ya ***

I really would send then pictures of failed bathrooms where a cheap spec has been used. And ask if they still think 'you're over the top'. It's clear you're not going to get the work but its always nice to be able to say 'I told you so'

 

[Colour Republic]

Ohh plumber with stone, even better :lol:

 

[Dan]

hahaha - I can see that going well.

Leave them to it mate. Hopefully they'll call you back when poo hits the fan.

I've filled his slot now so happier days. I've told him its not just for water resisting, he needs the boards for the weight! Told him to watch out for dot n dabbing tiles. If anything I'm gonna make him graft for his rock bottom price !!!!

You can only hope that this muppet of a plumber makes a complete ar55e of it.......then you can go around and laugh as you walk away.

 

[Ajax123]

Always makes me wonder if there is some sort of recourse through contract law if they have already agreed to your doing th job and thn reneging.....

 

[kilty55]

take a deposit for every single job it stops them behaving like this

 

[cam_low]

I'm going to dude. First and last time this happens.
