Adhesive options

[pipbl]

Please excuse the noddy question firstly

I'm geting a tiler to do a little bit of work in the bathroom to tile up a few sq feet of tiles for a sink splash back and I need to supply the adhesive + grout.

For the work already completed (floor + shower) I bought the BAL Rapid-Flex from Topps but can only get 20kg of it and this is way too much for the job. What's the best alternative in this case? Is the Wickes stuff any good? The tiler wasn't very helpful in this regard, did mention No More Nails instead but wanted to check if this is actually a sensible idea. He has been sourced through a building firm doing other work who have given us some pretty poor people so wanted to check his proposal.

Get someone sensible.

A tiler with no adhesive is like a:

A Plumber without a pipe slice
A Chippy without a tape measure
A Spark with out insulated screw drivers
A Plasterer with out a trowel

Please feel free to add more.

No more nails! No more needs to be said

I hear you. Unfortunately, they hide behind the contract of the loft build which states we need to supply adhesive, grout etc. Sometimes I wonder if I need to provide a spirit level and drill bits too.

I just want to give him the minimum required and then get these jokers out of my house.
