best place for wholesale tools? - Tile Advice

[Paul Finn]

As the title says, im currently searching for a wholesale supplier where I can buy items in bulk for a reduced rate. for example, trowels, spacers, washboys, washboy sponges ect.

Not looking for any cutters or high spec tools, just the niggly items that you have to go out and renew week after week after week.

UK based or imported is fine if anyone has any info on how I can obtain a cheaper way of life, then please throw me some ideas.

Call me cheap..... but look after the pennies..... you know the rest...... lol

If you buy in bulk.. say 10,000 sponges at a time etc then you can get sponges , spacers etc direct from china.. worth it if you want to sell for profit etc..

Tile Grout Sponge,Buy Quality Tile Grout Sponge from Manufacturers and Suppliers on Alibaba.com << just one wholesale site but you can deal direct with manufacturers..

You must take the time to look after your tools Sir Ramic :smilewinkgrin:

I suppose it's down to laziness really, but just finished an 800mtr floor and a 320mtr just befour that and when your working 15hr+ shifts and covering that kind of meterage i suppose nothing lasts that long, plus the last thing I want to do after being on my hands and knees all day is start washing tools with a toothbrush.

Much easier to throw in the towel and restock.



Much easier to rebuy

Ahh well if you are selling them on then ok, buy in bulk, sell most and the rest come free in a way.

So who is putting a bulk order in ??? If only I knew they were decent sponges ! 1p each ? thats a new sponge every wipe of the tile then ! :lol:
