Cheap budget wall tile adhesive

Post by derekholden »

Does anyone know why its so much cheaper to the trade. It really annoyed me at topps for tiles they wanted £27.00 per tub. I borrowed my mates trade card and it was only a bout a tenner. This was a bit back so things could have changed!

The trade buy large quantities and the outlets want their trade so they offer them large discounts.

Go in old jeans and a messy shirt, say you are on site and have been let down buy a customer, say you usually use another supplier but need something urgently.

I do this when I am let down and they never question me, so i guess it would work for you to. Although make sure you know exactly what you want and you know what you are talking about, if you ask for help, it wont work!
