Just lately most of my work has been floors or travertine walls so its cement based adhesives but my bucket supply got less and less. I needed more buckets but i hate the B&Q builders buckets they sell so i looked on Ebay.
10 20ltr buckets delivered for £25. Now i hate paying for buckets and rarely do but these have arrived and look just the job. Same as the buckets 2 part flexible come in.
If you are prepared to bid and not buy it now, they can be as cheap as £15 + P&P ( £5)
Plastic Buckets In Boxes Of Ten-20 Litre Buckets on eBay, also, Storage Boxes, Storage, Home Garden (end time 19-Nov-08 0818 GMT)

Yo can buy buckets like that in CTD with all the scales/measurements on the side....ideal for measuring water for slc etc.......and they are only about £2.40 each ...summit like that..

Yeah but i cant get the time to get over there now they have moved to Birmingham.

They have a 3 letter name to them neale....get gaz to get you some..

I buy the gorilla type buckets off e bay. You can keep them clean or beat the living hell out of them...similar price to what you have paid for the ten. Good for mixing and putting rubbish into as well

I seem to recall Leatherface once saying he got his buckets form his local swimming pool. These were chlorine buckets that they just throw away. Might be worth checking there next time.

I use the cheapo ones from wickes, 99p for a builders bucket with pouring lip, and 40l gorilla tubs for £4.

If i cant find anywhere to chuck the waste cuts etc, i just give the customer the bucket, kind of like a free gift with every tile job

The accountant in me is having palpitations at that suggestion.......no wait a minute, that's my head cold making me feel ill.

Any sympathy gratefully received.
