Best price for BAL tile adhesives?
 

Topps Tiles want £36 for a 20Kg bag of flexible floor tile adhesive (for
fitting tiles to a wooden floor)

Is this the going rate? My tiles cost me £30 and it seems a bit steep to
have to pay £36 to stick them down!

Regards

Bob

Yes, Topps Tiles take the ****.

That was my experience too. I got a reasonable rate on some tiles
(though could have done better at B&Q) and just asked for grout,
spacers and adhesive out of inertia which, when I looked at the receipt
back home, had been charged for at premium rates.

And me (once!). I think they rely on punters doing this. I currently use
tubs of Wickes waterproof tile-and-grout which does the job very well IMHO,
at 13 quid for a big 10 litre tub

Sorry, that's for wall tiles.
