  • Am I being taken for a ride here? Tilers in to do a very small bathroom (1.6m x 1.85m x 2m). Invoice for materials has 6 lots of 20kg adhesive.

    I'm no expert of course, but 120kg of adhesive seems a lot for such a small space?

  • Have a google - tile adhesive coverage in m²

    That way you can quote the manufacturer's stats back to them if it's way out.

  • I would question it no doubt but it might turn into a fair bit of back and forth followed by a falling out. In 30 years I've never got it that wrong on an invoice and I'd be keen to hear the excuse.

    In case they've already done the job as your post doesn't make it clear. Is it possible they chose to level the walls with tile adhesive and ended up using a huge amount because the walls were really pissed?

  • So, I used 5 bags of adhesive for tiling my bathroom and kitchen. 1 bag of rapid set for the floor tiles (5.5sqm) and 4 bags of slow set for all of the walls (27sqm). Barely anything left in the end, tiler was economical with it.
