Weber price Hike

[High Peak Tiling]

not seen this posted on here, so thought id ask your thoughts.

Got another price increase from supplier passed on from Weber upping its prices..

White SPF is now pushing £19.00 !
Before the increase I was paying 15.56 per bag..
So obviously I have to up my 'quotation' cost!

I was paying £12 a bag Setaflex last year, they now have Norcross because of a threat of an increase.

Moved to the arms, don't want the punters knowing what your paying.

It hasn't taken long for some suppliers to cotton on to the upturn in business,now has it?

That's why I stock up on the offers, but sometimes I get caught out because they run out of stock. I've ended up paying nearly £23 for a bag of Ardex microtec which is supposed to be lighter and fluffier than the £14 bag of normal white spf.

I try and base my quote on £20 for a 20k bag of addy (white or grey). Well that's what I charge my customers.

So I always keep my eyes open for CTD trade days etc. With the taking over of Tile Depot I wonder how long it will take for the switch over?

Checked the Tile Depot in Watford, it seems to be more a share scheme rather than a full takeover.

My local tile shop pushed the webber spf white up to £19 a bag too recently, when questioned they pointed out that it retails at going on £30 a bag...scandalous.
On a decent size floor that £60- £100 difference could be the difference between winning or loosing a job, even with the extra bodywarmer and t-shirt points still aint worth it...
Tilemaster for me from now on.

I get ultra spf grey for £10 and white for £10.50. Fixed prices for a min 3 years. Great addy for a great price i think.

Elstow ceramics. Not a bad run for you. June 13 M1 then about 10 mins from there.

I've been using the ultra too. 11.75 for white flex. Great adhesive at a good price.

Always loved Weber ,but feel (maybe its just me ) it has changed, so have been using Mapei a lot.

Tile Emporium in Reigate - great offers on Tilemaster!

I'd follow you on the Tilemaster conversion but just cant get on with it.

Funny you mention Mapei, there equivalent to webers spf was on for cheaper at B&Q than at my supplier of weber!

Ive used ultra before and got on well with it, where do you supply from at that price?

 

[High Peak Tiling]

Spoken to rep from Weber, getting sales rep in my area to call me... :whatchutalkingabout going to get told off for wingeing ? ha ha

 

[Peter]

Anything over £15 trade for a bag of standard S1 adhesive is robbery.

Weber is lovely stuff to spread but it's a fiver a bag more expensive than anything else round here and IMO doesn't perform or hang any better than something at £12.

 

[White Room]

That depends wether it's a C2 or S1...

I buy a pallet deal of TileMaster SetaFlex, 30 standard & 20 rapid, & it keeps the cost down.
Best adhesives I have used are TileMaster.
