“I bought expensive smart toilet which failed 2 maths after installation. That was 6mths ago, no resolution... I've been lied to that the item was sent over a month ago.”
“Bought a counter top sink unit from here and after just over 1 year the surface of part of the unit started to crack and bubble. The unit is in a guest bathroom so not used regularly. I was told that although the unit was under warranty, it was not covered for water ingress, this despite it being promoted as a counter sink unit, used irregularly and clearly had a fault with the surface covering. Customer services were not bothered that they were advertising this as a sink unit and refused to replace. My advice is not to purchase anything from this company as once you have purchased something they are not interested in customer service and you are on your own!”
“Totally useless, nothing but hassle and poor customer service at delivery stage. Last minute cancellation of a confirmed delivery, damaged goods received and incorrect replacement goods sent, you couldn't make it up! This is the fist time we have used BB and have never in all our years in business received such poor and amateurish service. The left hand does not know what the right hand is doing!”
“Bathtub cracked 3 months after purchase. They blamed the installer (which of course it wasn’t their fault) and refused to take any ownership or provide a resolution. Avoid at all costs!”
“Absolutely shocking aftercare!
Ordered a Lisbon bath 15 months ago and the paint on the plug has started to come away showing the metal plate underneath. Contacted customer services as this bath has a 5 year warrentee, which you would think would bring peace of mind.
Unfortunately they would not take any ownership of the fault, stating that the bubbled paint on the plug is damage on my part and not a fault. How I could cause this damage, I do not know! Once the bubbles start, they eventually peal off showing the metal underneath. Better Bathrooms informed me that I would need to make a £25 payment for a replacement plug!
After 4 rounds of 30 minute calls to the customer services, which is chargeable and staff hard to understand it is still not resolved. I’m now having to take this to the financial orbusman for an outcome.
Sales team fantastic when getting the sale, after sales just terrible! I would think twice about buying from this company based on this alone!”
“Placed an order on a few items then the next day they cancel the whole order as one item is priced wrong, shocking customer service, genuinely surprised they have 1.5 stars, should be 0, do yourself a favour and use a reputable company who provide a service and don’t fleece you on delivery charges too”
“AVOID - custoner service was appalling. Shower screen shattered in plumbers hand. Refused to replace. Suggested I was a liar. Said I had 30 days for damaged and faulty items. Due to bathroom fit being over the 30 days nothing they would do. Its toughened glass item which I expect to last years. Do not buy from them”
“Under no circumstances order from this company got to Victoria Plumb instead. If interested pls read on.
I purchased 2 Smartap shower systems 4 years ago with a 5 year warranty. Both showers do not now work and Smartap no longer exist. I the purchaser have a contract with the retailer (Better Bathrooms) who have asked for so much information including a damage report from my electrician which I have provided only for them to now say I need to take it up with the manufacturer which is one, incorrect and two they no longer exist. Most people bought their Smartap systems from Victoria Plumb who are a decent company and honouring their customer contracts. Better Bathrooms are a sham and are at this point refusing to refund even though I have provided all the they evidence asked for and the showers are clearly faulty and still under warranty!!!! I will update this review with more info as I get their responses. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY, there are plenty of decent suppliers out there.”
“Bought mixer tap for downstairs wc which has pitted after less than a year. Initial emails were quick and responsive. Then told nothing they could do as it had been 12 months. Contacted customer service as it had been fitted less than a year (builders verified this), told it only has 6 month warranty- although email says 12 months?! Then told to ‘just buy another’ as it ‘was only £19’!! Not really the point is it?! Poor quality goods and even worse customer service. Would not recommend or use again.”
“Appalling quality and terrible customer service!
Bought matching taps, showers, wastes, etc. for my main bathroom only for them to end up scratching pretty much immediately. I contacted customer service and they said there was nothing they could do about it. Even when I asked could we talk more to manufacturing or management they were completely unhelpful.
Later on I did some research/asked a professional and found out this issue is to do with poor casting when making the item. And I didn’t even pick cheap stuff!
I now see there are lots of reviews saying about the damage to the taps but didn’t see them at the time of purchase.”
“Don't believe any delivery dates, you'll likely keep getting the date pushed further and further back as they obviously never had the stock in the first place. Has caused big issues with us as tiler booked in etc. Wouldn't recommend using them.”
“We had ordered for a vanity unit for over £500 and within a month of use the product has started to crack.
The company has wiped its hands off any responsibility that clearly indicates the inferior quality of products they sell. They say it was stored in a place with too much moisture!
Its a bathroom vanity, isnt it supposed to be withstand basic humidity in the bathroom?!!!
DONT BE FOOLED. Please DO NOT buy from them and make the same mistake. I understand if its an old property with higher moisture content, or old property. We had moved into a new place with new products and now have to deal with their broken wall unit and pay additional to get another one. SHAME ON YOU BETTER BATHROOMS!”
“This would be a zero-star review if this site allowed it.
Initial delivery cancelled without anyone actually telling me, took two months to finally receive all items.
Then, bathroom unit develop splits/cracks after less than a year. According to 'Customer Service' it's water ingress caused by me simply wiping the unit with a damp cloth, which the 'Moisture resistant wood combination' apparently cannot handle. Utterly ridiculous and obviously not fit for purpose.
Absolutely awful. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.”
“I would give -10 stars.
I ordered a lot of stuff from here,
Brass tap orderex has discoloured and is not brass anymore,
There excuse was due to water splashing on tap.
Wont refund or send new tap as it doesnt cover under warranty.
Shocking offered £5 refund.
Taking it to ombudsmen and trading standards”
“I purchased 3 bathroom suites in Boxing day sales. The deliveries didn't come until mid February. Before the deliveries came, I received a call from an advisor that they only had 2 in stock and they would offer a refund for the 3rd, which I would receive in 3-5 working days. I never received this refund in that time and once my final delivery came (because they couldn't send everything with one courier), I then contacted them about getting my refund for the missing suite but also returning and getting a refund for one of the damaged suites they sent me. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER. 1 week on and I am still chasing my refund. They have partially refunded me but I am still waiting for nearly £400 and despite numerous times asking someone to call me to discuss this, they haven't. I am so close to going to my bank and raising a formal complaint with them. I will never use this company again!!!”
“Despite sending four requests to be contacted through their website they still haven’t responded. Metal fixings supplied have gone rusty in 6 months. Poor quality and shocking customer service!”
“After sales is amongst the worst you will come across, weeks of emails to get a replacement for a faulty parts. They do their best to get out of it with generic emails.”
“If I could put no stars on this I would.do not use this company .missing items on my order which they promised had been sorted.it has cost me £48 to ring this company to sort out a problem they have caused.they charge you to call them ?? And I have not sorted the problem either .toilet and sink unit with a bit missing so unable to use it.rubbish”
“Worst company I have ever dealt with.....paid over £500 over 4 weeks ago...promised delivery a number of times...only got part of the order....after 12 calls, & empty promises the rest of the order was cancelled...which is no use now as the other product was made to fit the missing item.....Please, people....NEVER USE THIS COMPANY....I'm surprised they are still in business.”
