so if you trained to be a plumber why haven't you trained to be a tiler.

why do plumbers think its easy tiling. is it because theve seen tillers doing it and think that's easy. youre probably a brilliant plumber but looking at your picks your an average tiler m8 find a good tiler in your area and team up then he will get the niggles not you. you could end up like me and my m8 bri we do high end bathrooms for a couple of bathroom companies and most of the time we start Monday and finish Friday or the latest Saturday .
our customers trust us to do a good job as were experts in our own fields we also do the jobs quicker, so the clients have minimal disruption to there lives. when your ripping some ones house apart they get stressed and want you out A S P and because there stressed they turn and the longer the job takes the more time they have to find fault because as soon as you've gone for the night there examining your work in minutes detail. and as tiling is in my opinion an art. it is on show so is always on show for critisimum. the first thing a person sees when they walk in a bathroom is the tiling not the plumbing .so the tiling is what shows the job to be what it is. not the pipes under the floor.

2 of us pal

2 of us pal

we are 3 me, tiler. bri plumber and chris my son hes a tiler and now an apprentice plumber .
we work as a team and we plan what we want to achieve every day we only leave when that days tasks are completed some times this may involve working a bit late but what we try to achieve is as little disruption as possible for the clients and that's why we aim to do the job in 5 days or 6 if its a bit more difficult. customers are nice to your face but under Neath they hate the upheaval you cause them. don't get me wrong we work hard and some days we never stop. but our speed dosnt compromise our quality all our work is in copper and machine bends if possible hate plastic its a big no no for us . weve been working as a team for 18 mts now and we are getting the recommendations from our previous clients from there friends and family. we have seven projects confirmed with deposits and another number we are quoting on as well as other work so over all looking good.

I'm sensing a bit of a theme...

 

[rufus the tiler]

good to hear pal, I used to use copper on everything, but now i only use copper when in veiw ie towel rad stabs and shower stabs...our name is rapidly becoming the name to call in the Hull area and we never lower our prices to compete for quotes which are all quoted for 7=9 days labour...we can sometimes finish in 6ish days depending on spec etc

Only thing I'd add is get rid of that fugly window beading before you tile reveals. That would also let you pack out a bit to make your cuts a bit bigger around the window.

sorry, I was wondering if the centering of the window, can be fine ..... otherwise I change jobs ... thanks
