I need a shower room re-tiling and a shower, shower tray and shower door fitting. I have all the parts and tiles I just need somebody to do the work. It’s nothing complicated and would probably would take a competent person about 2 days.

I’ve tried a two tilers/plumbers; one came out to quote but despite chasing hasn’t come up with a price, the other keeps cancelling coming out to quote. Do these guys just not want the work or something?!?

Does anybody have any recommendations for somebody reliable?

Please feel free to PM me if you prefer.

Thanks,

TSS

We had a really good guy in to do our bathroom, just a one man job I think. His name was Paul and I think his van had 'FXN' on it, however I'm at a loss as to where his number is now... I'll try and dig it up in the morning if I can!

Hi Baz!

Right, found the number, Paul's a really nice guy, well into his cars and all that too, has a 911 I think.

Paul Foxon - 07979375078

He does a great job, but if you were looking for someone really cheap, he's not really your guy.

Always worth giving him a call though!

Tell him Seb Ferraro sent you smile

Sorry, I just read this thread out of curiousity and as soon as I saw this bloke had a 911, I had to have a chuckle when you then said he's not really cheap! I prefer tradesmen that turn-up in battered old work vans, haha.

Ah it's more of a 'you pays your money' scenario though I reckon. He did a tremendous job on our new bathroom, and any problems we have he comes back and fixes them for free!
