hiya, ive jst bought that washboy! i wouldnt really advise you to buy it! i regrouted my own bathroom and used that it was not half as good as the 1 i used at the training centre! itll do for a few jobs but i think that will be it. If i start to get proper jobs i will be replacing it! hope that helps ***

Thanks for that Leanne , I suppose its true, you only get what you pay for.

yea thats right i knew it wouldnt be as good but i was still quite disapointed wen i received it! its smaller then i expected the plastic is very thin and the clips that hold the roller look like they could easly snap off!!!
any way im glad i could help! take care ***

The actual container is fine and has had a good bashing from me. But the sponges are very crap.

🙂

 

[Leanne]

do you think if i change the sponge itll b beta? how long has yours lasted? ***

Hi Leanne,

The actual bucket itself has been bang on for me. The sponge fell apart after the first job, I must admit. But I bought a Tile Rite sponge and it has really grafted for me. And its still going strong.

Might be worth buying a couple of spares to keep in your van just in case 🙂

 

[Leanne]

im very suprised with the bucket but fanx very much i'll just change my sponge ***

I'll say this again mate, I wish everybody coming into this as an apprentice was as keen as you 🙂

I have these in stock and can do them for £14 inc postage to UK if any1 wants them. 🙂 There's not A1 but they'll do the job for a while. Plus you cna see how they work then invest £50 in a real big one. 😀
