was told today by another tiler b&q are going to sell mapei products anyone know about this

It is called build-fix.........

so its true then but under another name

It is yes....

Buildfix Ultimate Showerproof Wall Tile Adhesive 15kg, 8022452042065

I was told it was going to be a special BnQ formula mix

God knows wot that means? Weaker/cheaper mix no doubt?????????????

B&Q are expensive with their usually so we can prob still buy our beloved mapei from our stockists cheaper who give us the work aswell !!! wink.

is it the same quality and are they doing grouts

THey do dispersion/cement adhesives and grouts and primer G....

why are they not using the mapei name

Look on the packaging...is does say mapei........it will just be a trade name for b&q.....

yep sorry dave just looked at the photo noticed screwfix also sell mapei reasonable prices as well

Mental

went in for some paint last week, saw what they charged for adhesive !

Even more than BAL ( he he he )

God only knows what they will charge for this !

For retail I was looking at the keraquick at approx £32/bag. B&Q are selling Buildfix Stone & Porcelain Rapid Set Tile Adhesive White 20kg by Mapei for £22/bag.
Seems like a bargain for us non trade types. Assuming its as good quality!!

who charges you £32 for kerraquick?thats expensive m8!

The Buildfix stuff is in the B&Q stores already. I noticed it whilst I was wondering around waiting for hubby to meet me yesterday.

I was eavesdropping into a conversation a family was having down the tile aisle in there about what colour tiles they wanted to buy. They'll probably end up buying the Buildfix stuff to go with their B&Q tiles if its on offer.

Yes it is costly but I can't find it cheaper for retail prices - any suggestions?
I have tried tile giant, tops tiles, tile depot and a couple of other smaller places in Hull. They all want between £30 and £32. Thats why I was interested in the stuff at b&q. It reads like its the same stuff and is still made by Mapei. I thought £22 was OK.

try ctd,they sell mapei products and you will get good discount if you are trade.

There is a CTD in hull......
