:mad2: Yeah I agree with sWe,cheap £3 a box tiles,no matter how straight you get them ,they never seem to match up exactly, also if you do the grout lines too thin, the biscuit shows through,as one our customers politely pointed out. Oh and the need to use so much adhesive on the backs of tiles,cant keep doing that,have used nearly six tubs on a 15m2 bathroom.No more thats for sure. ggggggrrrrrrrr!

Yeah !! tell me about it,I just dont get it sometimes,the walls were that much out,but you dont allways notice these things till you started,well I dont.:lol:
 
Tiling around full windows, I have to agree there, even though I know the theory and most (if not all) have gone ok so far, I don't look forward to them!
 
getting the calls in the 1st place!

Tend to get most if, well over 80%, i quote for to be honest and do a good job on them, well ive been paid on en em all and no comebacks yet so must be doing something right.

Just needs more calls!!!!!!
 
The worst thing about Tiling??????................................Hmmmmmm

Trying to unscrew the cap off my beer with tender grout hands.:lol:

Cleaning my feet in the shower after a hard days work. My back refuses to pull up straight. :lol:
 
I've just changed my mind - customer changing their mind!!!! Had a job booked in for next week, spoke to them last night to give a price for extra job 5m2 bath floor (£150 incl backer board install), and he decided it was all too much money! 🙁
Bugger.
