Tile giant prices

[gamma38]

Went into TG the other day, I am thinking of changing after reading all the good things on here about Mapei. Chatting to the girl behind the counter she was pleasant and knowledgeable. Went back there today to buy some adhesive and she wasn't there just two young guy's with the init attitude and text speak. I must be an old fart but I hate that. She was only there on loan from another store. Bummer.
Anyhow what do you reckon to the prices she gave me?

Tub adhesive £7.20
Waterproof tub adhesive £13.89
5kg white grout £11.89
20kg pro quick £8.54
20kg pro-flex grey £11.85
20kg pro-flex white £16.48
20kg keraquick white £28.24

Good or bad????????????

You will be able to get them a bit lower than that, the kerequick especially. TG have recently ditched their premier accounts according to my local store, so everything has gone up a couple of quid.

A forum account gave you a premier account, apparently they've been stopped: http://www.tilersforums.com/trade-price-checking/58995-tile-giant-prices.html#post607937

Ahh, bummer.... wonder why.. we not good enough now. ?

Last week mate, proflex grey gone from £9.99 to £11.85 and white from £14.99 to £16.85. To be fair to them, they manually adjusted my last lot down to the old prices but said the prem account was gone and next time I'd have to pay the higher prices.

Might be worth a call or email to Nathan to see what the score is.

Lol! I was gonna PM you to give him a nudge! Thought maybe my emails had gone in a spam box. Cheers mate.

 

[DHTiling]

He told me last week you contacted him... but he is so stressed off his feet with jobs etc and he has a memory worst than Dan's// :lol:

 

[DHTiling]

I will nudge him harder..

 

[gamma38]

Jeez you guys run with it when you get going don't you. Good on you though. So it sounds like what she gave me is about right?

Yeah, there or there abouts, I love the proflex gear, rapid set but long pot life and super smooth when mixed.

I agree, i tried it today and it is nice when mixed, not as grainy as topps adhesive

 

[kilty55]

the keraquik is far too high price wise..the others could do with a wee nudge also

 

[gamma38]

What should the Keraquick be then??

 

[Dan]

Had a reply from Tile Giant and they do still have their Premier Accounts on their systems, and Colin at TileHQ hasn't heard about them being removed at all.

So I'd have another word with the store mate.

 

[poynton phil]

I'm still paying the lower price for the proflex, and paid £28 for keraquick white last week

 

[DHTiling]

28 quid. Jeeeeeeez.

 

[gamma38]

As much as i liked the adhesive and from what you guy's have said on here i might have to stick to topps i think. I did just fill out the premier account form on here but i would say that a fair few of you guy's would already have one but still don't get it much cheaper?? bummer really

 

[Dan]

It's worth checking.

The premier accounts are often based on QTY you buy over a period of time, and from what I can tell the store managers have a bit of leeway with it too.

 

[gamma38]

I wouldn't bet on it with my local store, the innit boys behind the counter didn't seem the best, bit cynical i know.

 

[poynton phil]

I buy all my adhesive off tile giant, and the Maccclesfield store say's I'm one of there top traders, but the keraquick white as gone up £10 over about the last 3years. Its £18 for grey

 

[Martyn Leeds]

The proflex white and grey prices that you quoted are the same as what i pay (11.85 & 16 something)

Topflex is about 10.56-11quid for grey and 16ish for white ... So for not even a quid difference i prefer the proflex

 

[widler]

same as i pay,it has gone up as well,i pulled them on it and they said i had the best account you can get,just paid over 16 for proquick white and 15 for a square edge 12mm bead,though it was a bit steep myself,told them they getting like b&q
