There are good customers out there

[batiling]

Hi all,i did this job as a fill in,It took 2 days and i only charged £120.The customer was well pleased as was i(better then plain white).I got a £20 tip and the satisfaction that not all customers are using the credit crunch as an excuse to rip us off.I was getting a bit disillusioned with the trade as been very quiet in cheshire but phone started to ring again and got another job off the back of this one.The customer couldnt do enough(brews,butties and even jaffa cakes).So all keep your chins up and the work will comephotos2 123.jpg

[Prem Tiler]

when was this done only looks like an entry for job of the month to me.

but £120 for 2 days

dont know about tea and biscuits i'd rather be paid a fair price.

[doug boardley]

looks well mate and you're right the credit crunch doesn't make ogres out of all customers

Thanks all,it was cheap i know but did it while waiting for plumber on another job so it worked out nice.I would probably double it if was really busy as mosaics are glass with stainless ones dotted about but as you say work is work and it got me out of the house for a couple of days

If you are in cheshire no probs?As for cutting mosaics i just used my trusted plasplugs £30 cutter,it takes time but does the job great

Thanks, what disc do you have in it? Just that when I last did 100mm glass tiles on the wet cutter, it chipped them horribly, wasted hours of my life (and a few £) on that.....

Just had new plasplugs standard diamond disc from tile giant it worked a treat but i just eased off the pressure at the end of cut so it didnt chip

looks good mate work is work especially at the minute hard to turn anything away!

I received a 300quid tip on Christmas eve at 4pm when i finished a full bathroom refurb, they also recommended me to their friends where i finished up today and received a check which was 200quid heavy as well. Both very pleasing but I want to know what I did wrong this time

£120? crazy m8...i hope all the customers friends don't start phoning you asking you to do there kitchen splashback for the same price...would have charged at least 4 times that for that job.

looks awesome though.
