By right they should be compensated for the hassle of it all as well.
Completely agree mate, they called me yesterday asking to delay till Wednesday, apparently it's proving harder to clean the floor than they imagined! 😛😛
 
When you quote must pay attention at the cost of tiles.
I quote for fit 3000x1200 porcel thin last year,I see the job,bathroom in a flat near to London Eye,6Th floor,tiles not delivered yet.The day when start I find the tiles outside,the delivery man wait me to pick them up.Never quote for pick up the tiles 6 floors on to intricate stairs and the first tile we try to go up was broken and we pay 534£ for have one more to complete the job.
''Hi Edward,

Please see attached the amount for the tile that was broken. We are
getting the tile to County Hall on Monday morning so it will be in the
flat for you to install on Saturday 17th.

the tiles you mentioned were not porcel thin we do not sell tiles bigger than 1800x900
the biggest tile we plan to sell is 2400x1200x6mm
 
If is hard to clean why failed?

Tile on to Isomat, Isomat stuck to Polypipe gypsum board direct, no latex.
First image far left, you can see mat stuck to board.
I said I want boards clean.
I do not know if they primed gypsum board before sticking mat.
Stuck with cement adhesive.

as we normaly stock our porcel thin book match you can buy any numbered tile in mat or polished finish if one get broken the same day
What I try to point out is if with normal tiles we ask 20-35% wastage for cuts,depend how big and intricate is the job,for big thin tiles we can't order more,especially if is book match.If we broke one is our fault and need to pay for,so when we quote must be aware of this situation and ask high price for cover this risk. When you have to manage big and thin tiles in small spaces is easy to damage the tile.Like insurance,higher on expensive car and low on cheap.
IMO the price for fit must be the cost of tile(dream😀)
