This will be interesting today ,

Been waiting on a tiler to start a job in a bathroom , been asked to rip it out this out today so tiler can start monday.

Obviously the call i had from cust was along lines on this thursday evening.

'Bathroom is ready for you to rip out saturday so see you then' Nice of him to consider my family.

Anyhow bathroom getting ripped out today but then i aint coming back to september as booked up.

He don't know that yet.

Don't go near with a barge pole.. seperate tiler? No way!

All or nothing, anything else is pure trouble.

I disagree I've got two tilers which. I use which I would swear by they are both awesome and we communicate really well about organising jobs

+1 and they know what your like eg plan ahead etc

 

[Riley]

I can tile and to what I think a professional standard I am just not quick. I think why slow yourself from other jobs if you can get someone in for an equally good if not better finish. Plus they do my siliconing :wink: why have a dog and bark your self I always say

Ive got a great tiler, though he won't do any siliconing and wont do any of the building prep work, but he only charges me £130 a day labour and I charge him out more than that

Win win

I'm with you. I tile but I use a tiler for the pro finish.

UPDATE

Had a phone call from this cust today after i ripped his bathroom out last saturday went something like this.

CUST - Right tiler all done so need you back this week to fit bathroom.
ME- No can do like i told you will be the end of the month.
CUST- Thats no good we have a none working bathroom.
ME-Well i did mention this before i ripped out all suite if you recall?
CUST- Yes i know you mentioned this however you need to come out this week.
ME- Can not busy ,Will be end of the month as discussed.

CUSTOMER NOW CHANGES TONE.

CUST - YOU ARE A ( insert various expletives and insults)
ME - Ok BTW you have not paid for rip out .
CUST- Thats irrelevant i have no where to wash or go toilet .
ME- Paying invoice???
CUST- I will get someone else your unreliable.

HANGS UP

Cant please everyone i guess lol

 

[mfgs]

hahahahaha some people are crazy. Cant help but feel you should have got the payment immediately after the rip out though.

 

[Scott_D]

Should have got the rip out money before it all went wrong:aureola:

 

[Howsie]

Some of them really believe you are a lower class of life form.

 

[hammers4spanner]

They went to the shops and was supposed to get my money but they never came back .

Yes I also have come to the opinion that many customers think that plumbers are low class uneducated idiots. I think the thought is if you had no education you could join the army or a trade.
Re the OP, I would text back to that customer stating he was actually the unreliable person because he obviously doesn't seem to be able to listen or comprehend what you clearly informed him at numerous stages and you would be reluctant to do further work for him as he has no clue how to agree or organise a simple schedule for a relatively minor bathroom job.

Just discovered the 'Like' button works again. :smile:

Izettle take payment when your done.

 

[hammers4spanner]

And so it continues , cheque through post today 40 quid short !!

Also a letter with the cheque saying that as i never put a ball fix on the temporary toilet they had to call an emergency plumber out to do this. Along with the fact they broke the temporary toilet .Funny how at no stage did they phone me and request this yet i spoke to them twice after the rip[ out and still never mentioned this.

Personally i now feel its come to full chase of money

 

[PlumbBobBob]

just tell them you're not a mind reader. discuss it with me and it'll probably get done, think you've discussed it and it won't get done.

If not having an iso on a toilet feed is an emergency then half the country is code blue
