    Default Weber steps up to the mark - and more! Thank you

    I think it's fair that you should all know that Weber have been absolutely brilliant with regards to the problems I experienced with their SLC. They have free issued a number of bags of SLC to me to correct the problem, and have gone further than that. I feel a bit guilty for the choice of title in my previous thread now.

    A huge amount of effort on on their part and that of CTD in Plymouth, who I bought the stuff from has helped me considerably. Very often the metal of a manufacturer shows in how they tackle a problem, rather than if a problem never occured in the first place.

    Weber have demonstrated how they tackle issues surrounding product or product support. They are the only tile adhesive company that I have had first hand experience with in this respect. Whilst we expect others may respond well in certain curcumstances, we as a forum now know that Weber will.

    I would highly recommend Weber as a company that stands by their product. I look forward to using more of their products in the future.

    Again, thank you Weber, you've been absolutely brilliant and earned my customer loyalty (something that you may not be too thrilled about ).

    was it that obvious??!!

    You're right though - I'll just think about how I feel when I'm out the other side of it.

    I do thank you very much. Their response has also reaffirmed my confidence in myself in that followed a process to the letter. I now need to follow a different process to get the results I want and I now know that thanks to them and the members here.

    just while the subject of weber is here, can anyone give me their thoughts on weber.set rapid vs kerakwik? or indeed on any other weber adhesives if they have any experience of them. never used them before, and was wondering how they are. i see a few people here saying good things about them, and they're well priced at ctd, but always shied away from buying them before. any of your thoughts on this would be appreciated. cheers.

    ok, thanks.i'm starting a bathroom tomorrow, so i'll think i'll get some weber gear in for it for a change. are the grouts any good, or should i stick with mapei ultracolour? and while i'm at it, how would you rate ardex grouts? i've used them for floors before, but never walls.

    i'm lucky here. i can get mapei, bal, ardex or weber locally. and granfix and nicobond pretty close too, though i rarely use them. lots of choice round here.

    Sorry that should have read that for white wall grout the choice is Weber or BAL. They get me Mapei adhesives or Biscem.
