never had this happen before..

tiled a kitchen walls today, customer came in just as I was finishing, said I hate it...:yikes: not the tiling, but the tiles she bought, she paid me for the job, then by the time I had got home she rang to book me in to retile it, her husbands going to take them all off again...:lol:...really do wonder about some folks..lol

Bonus time Andy

Had exactly the same thing recently Andy, did a slate floor and the customer says its too dark. Apparently they have got an artist coming in to paint the tiles to lighten them! I hope I get to see the result for some pics!

That happened to me a couple of months ago! I do a lot of work for a local builder but this was in his house. Had about 10m2 down on the floor then stopped for lunch, he sat there looking at it then said I don't like it, take them up!! Got paid twice so didn't mind too much!! At least he changed his mind then and not after the full 40m2 was down!

I dont remember that ever happening to me but many a time I've thought to myself,
'do they really want me to fix these awful tiles, have they got no taste?'

When I first saw the thread title I thought it was going to be about problems you'd had in the bedroom Andy:lol:

I did a kitchen wall job a lot of yrs ago , wifey chose tiles whilst hubby was working away .

I was just washing off when hubs came home , after a few mins he came into the kitch to see how things were going , took one look at tiles and then went back to his wife and all hell broke loose :lol:

He then came back , said take them off , I will pay you twice , j was gutted having to rip them back off.

I love customers too. Never been asked to remove tiles, but I was refurbing a bathroom - lower half tiled with brickbond white, upper half painted with Farrow and Ball's finest. The "wife" returned home and looked in after I had finished the painting and told me the paint was the wrong colour. Turns out her husband had mixed up her instructions - woodwork colour became wall colour and vice versa. At £56 a litre that's an expensive mistake - I repainted it too .... at extra cost of course :8:

i did a job on moors somewhere outside sheffield many years ago.
wife went on holiday and husband decided to rip kitchen and floor out and redo before she came back as surprise.
i laid a genuine reclaimed jerusalem floor which at that time was about £ 400.00 per square mt plus my exorbitant fixing costs plus new smallbone kitchen.
she came back slightly earlyas we were applying last seal and flipped her lid.
we ran out the house and left the husband to his fate.
it was pretty scary

Obviously not a good holiday then ?
