Don't use them with white grout or you'll get orange dust in it.

Always colour match buckets to the grout, first thing I learnt that as a trainee

Same as Adey,I bought 4 rubi ones from topps ,must of been a good year ago.was quite optimistic at first but got to admit they're probably more robust than gorilla,tub trug buckets( quite unusual for ruby )

I'm not too surprised.

They're pretty good with plastic

Tilemaster or Ardex mixing Buckets I find okay & easier to clean than gorilla

The ultra buckets are pretty durable unless the apprentice mixes on stony ground

I've got good selection of flexi tubs, had them so long cant even remember where I bought them. Travis do some and handles start splitting after 2 weeks.

I'm too tight to throw tubs away when the handles snap so i fix them, i cut a two hole section off some galvband and drill a hole in each side of the handle and bolt them together. Works a treat and saves dumping them in landfill.

I've left my tub on my job but I will upload, it does work a treat especially if you already have the galvband.

I had tried a couple of the Mapei tubs but they are quite brittle and they broke now use a plaster mixing bucket
