Quotes & pricing

  • Quotes are valid for 30 days unless the quote says otherwise.
  • Prices are labour plus materials unless stated. Materials are charged as listed on the quote.
  • Prices assume rectified porcelain tiles. Natural stone, mosaics, herringbone, chequerboard and large-format tiles are priced separately as shown.
  • Silicone, tanking/waterproofing, underfloor heating, self-levelling and tiled skirting are extras, only included if they're listed on the quote.
  • Jobs with a round trip of over 2 hours have an extra £20 per day.
  • Small jobs have a minimum charge of one day (£300).
  • Anything not on the quote (extra areas, changes of tile, unforeseen prep like uneven floors or damaged walls) will be agreed and priced before I do it.

Payment

  • A 30% deposit secures your start date. Dates aren't held until it's paid.
  • The balance is due on completion, payable within 7 days by bank transfer.
  • Materials stay my property until paid for in full.
  • If the balance isn't paid within 7 days of completion, I may charge interest at 4% a year above the Bank of England base rate on the overdue amount, plus any reasonable recovery costs.

Tiles & materials

  • If you supply the tiles, they must be rectified and arrive on site in enough quantity (allow 10-15% extra for cuts and waste). I'm not responsible for delays, shade/batch differences or defects in tiles you supply.
  • Tiles I supply are ordered once the deposit is paid. Special-order tiles can't be returned or refunded once ordered.

On site

  • You provide access, a water supply, electricity and a clear work area. Old fixtures and tiles must be removed before I start unless we've agreed otherwise.
  • Work is usually carried out Monday to Friday. Weekend work may be arranged by agreement.
  • I'm not responsible for existing faults uncovered during the job (e.g. damp, rotten floorboards, loose plaster). We'll discuss and price these before I carry on.
  • Grout and silicone need time to cure. Showers and wet areas shouldn't be used for at least 24-48 hours after completion (I'll confirm on the day).
  • Natural variation in tile colour, veining and shade is normal and not a defect.

Cancelling

  • If we agree this contract away from my business premises (for example after a home visit, or by phone or message), you have the right to cancel within 14 days of agreeing it, without giving a reason, and get a full refund. To cancel, tell me clearly by email or text (callum@robsonceramics.com / 07506 451825). If you ask me to start within those 14 days and then cancel, you pay for the work done and materials ordered up to that point.
  • After 14 days, the deposit is non-refundable if you cancel or postpone with less than 7 days' notice, because I'll have turned down other work for those dates.

Guarantee

  • I guarantee my workmanship for 12 months from completion. This doesn't cover damage from misuse, building movement, structural or plumbing problems, or materials you supplied.

Agreement

  • Paying the deposit means you accept these terms.
