Davyo Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 (edited) Anyone ever used said Bathroom supplier? Good,bad Edited October 10, 2017 by Davyo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Bought a Sink/Tap from them less than 2 years ago.....Tap gave up the ghost in less than a year (previous one was from Aldi and still going strong after at least 10 years) and the enamel on the sink is the thinnest I have ever seen. Might have improved since I dealt with them but IMHO no better than Wickes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVB Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 No but I recently ordered something through Victorian Plumbing. The ripped me off on next day delivery. Apparently I placed the order after their cutoff of 14:00 and so it wasn't delivered next day and they are refusing to refund the extra I paid. I know people who have wanted to order from Victoria Plumb but have accidentally ordered from Victorian Plumbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gu5 Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Ordered 2 ensuites and a bathroom suite from them, delivered ok on the Friday. On the Saturday the same delivery arrived - they were sure they hadn't sent the first lot. Finally persuaded them that the second lot needed picking up, which took a couple of weeks. Then we had a problem with a shower tray and their reply was "we can see you e been messed around by us, we'll send a new one and refund the shower tray and cubicle." I was happy with that.

figgy Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 AS good or bad as the rest. Can’t think of a good supplier these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ph5172 Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Bought a complete bathroom as a package, Toilet resembled an egg after a fight with a lump hammer sat in the middle of the pallet, replacement within 24 hours no issues. Cant say fairer than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del T Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Customer bought full bathroom from them, bath arrived with no legs and took a good week to get a replacement set which held up the job. Also on another job some of the pottery arrived broken but replacements were sent very quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotslad Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 I'm mates with a plumber and heard him regularly slate there stuff, some off there stuff may be cheap but its cheap for a reason, some of the quality is very poor and won't last long. I doubt I would buy any plumbing stuff without seeing/touching the thing 1st, some plumbers merchants do sell some quite decent budget stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vampire Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 No i only fit trade tested brands from plumb centre or travis perkins to reduce/eliminate call backs.Taps are the worst,have replaced loads of taps customers have bought cheap.

JohnfromUK Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 When I was doing some work recently my builder 'warned me off' them; bought from Plumb Centre instead - and so far so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Prawn Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 I've had experience with two of the name brands: Victoria Plumb, cheap and not very good, taps made from coke cans judging by how flimsy they felt Bathstore, good products but terrible company to deal with, sent wrong handed shower, wrong colour sink, delayed bathroom and cost me for extra days of fitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manthing Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 (edited) Are Victoria Plumb and Victorian Plumbing not one and the same company before and after a closure/winding up? Just checked and it appears not. Edited October 10, 2017 by manthing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
