How much a tube do you pay and where from Dave, cheer's

 

[DHTiling]

dan, i think you are are on the right road....sorry in advance but i am a mapei fanatic.....i have tried em all but it seams to me that this company (mapei) have got it right.....i stock their products and have got rid of bal and weber....all the stuff they have is fantastic....but they have so many products for different uses ..so make sure you call technical before you go ahead with anything, you can contact technical for mapei on 0121 508 6970 which goes to the sales team, just ask to speak to technical,they love retailers and tilers alike.......good luck
p.s 26 colours is fab 'innit.
p.p.s even though i am a retailer....screwfix direct are now stocking mapei and the price is hard to beat......and they deliver:hurray: :hurray: :hurray:

thanks for your comments protilers i also use alot of mapei products and find them brilliant. i am going to try and source some bal micro seal silicone in my area just to try it,but i get good prices on mapei products and will continue using them.ill defo look into screw fix direct though great tip.

 

[tilermandan]

sorry protilers im in cornwall mate thanks anyway. looking at screw fix direct they are a bit cheaper than i pay at the moment which could be promising

B&Q own brand.










(joking!) - BAL stuff has been great, although Cerafix is a decent cheapy.

paying nine pounds a go at Topps. Use cheaper stuff for the out of sight areas, Everbuild do a range for around 3/4 quid, but never buy the really cheap stuff.
