[Gall.B]

[Sir Ramic]

Can you tile it before xmas ??? (10 days before xmas)

[doug boardley]

how long will it take?

[whitebeam]

If the price is right we "may" have some more work for you..

[blocko]

What discount can you give if I do all the prep work?

[John Benton]

Can you do anything on price? My stock answer to that one, "Yes I can make it more expensive if you like, but that is what I charge to tile a bathroom/kitchen of this size to the standard that you require and expect for that price" Usually works and never drop my prices. I always tell customers if they can get it done cheaper then that is their choice but something will be compromised on the job, either the quality of materials or the workmanship!

[doug boardley]

how much for cash??

[John Benton]

Thats popular as well Doug. It's the same for cash, cheque or BACS. Not been offered Euros yet!

[Oli]

Do the tiles really need sealing as the man in the shop said they were already sealed

[doug boardley]

[Bubblecraft]

You've just siliconed the bath/shower. They ask, can I have a bath/shower tonight?

[doug boardley]

"Do you think it'll look nice when it's finished?, do you think we've chosen the right tiles?"

i had a similar thing some years back, the woman came home and went mad too, but she had chosen them! her and her hubby had a blazing row with me in the middle.

[Bubblecraft]

Thankfully, I've never had that with tiling but have will solid wood flooring. They didn't question what random meant but they bought the stock. They thought it would have a pattern like Laminate lol

[John Benton]

A tiler friend of mine did a conservatory for a customer, once the job was complete the customer refused to pay because they didn't like the tiles now they were down and said they were going to change them. My friend went out to his van and came back with his hammer and said he would save the next tiler the trouble of taking them up by breaking them now. The customer couldn't pay him quick enough, it was just an excuse to try and get out of paying.

[nybor62]

i did,nt move all the things off the side was,nt sure what time u were coming, what 8 oclock as arranged, kitchen sides full of clutter does my head in

[whitebeam]

A conservatory with electric ufh and get told as I turn up to the job..."The builder has done the self leveling"...it looked like the wires were growing out the floor...

[andy allen]
