Gold basin taps web site states 12 year manufacturers warranty. Manufacturer says its 5 year warranty. One gold tap blemished after 6 months, manufacturer says its due to limescale and therefore not covered by warranty. I live in a very soft water area and why only one tap affected. Its a scam.

Really bad when when things go wrong. Very nice people working in local stores. I've had my rotavator broken and can't get it repaired under warranty. Instead received offer I can get new one for £145 or get this one fixed for £165 or received back my broken machine (in pieces) with courier's bill £39 .Basically I did other choices other than pucharse another sh... quality machine or fixing it. Now I was told There's nothing I can do. I'm left alone without machine and money with anger as disappointment about the way TOOLSTATION brand treat their customers. Avoid them use Screwfix or any other more helpful when things so WRONG🥺

Website impossible to order from. I have mentioned this to the staff in Chippenham time and time again and nothing ever happens. A total waste of my time.

I ordered two products online, but one of the items was canceled. I requested to cancel the entire order, but was told it was not possible. Instead, I was informed that if I refuse the delivery when it arrives, a refund would be issued. However, even though I refused the delivery, the delivery fee was still charged. I am dissatisfied with the fact that Toolstation amend my order without asking and the promised full refund upon cancellation was not honored. Due to these issues, I would not use the service again.

Beware Toolstation policies on returns - I recently purchased an Einhell Water Pump to help with my home flooding. I plugged it in and it is defective - only feebly working intermittently. Now I see that it is NON-REFUNDABLE once used. My issue is that a customer cannot tell if the product is faulty UNLESS they use it. So I have lost my money, and all faith in Toolstation. VERY POOR. BUYERS BEWARE

Terrible service, website showing original correct prices, I got charged higher prices, showing online correct before and after still original prices. Had to wait a week after spending hours comparing all the over charges and they say, sorry~!! Not good enough ToolStation, will go back to Screwfix.

Please DO NOT Purchase any Ximax Radiators from Toolstation. since buying a Ximax radiator it is not heating our room as we thought it should. it’s not fit for the purpose it was intended. we contacted Toolstation and Ximax there just putting it done to the fitting, Which it is NOT. We have done research on line and a lot of people have had the same issues. Aslo not got anywhere with Toolstation or Ximax. Toolstation and Ximax will not refund our money. It’s robbery the money they’re charging for goods that are unsatisfactory. PLEASE BE WARNED DO NOT PURCHASE XIMAX RADIATORS FROM TOOLSTATION YOU WILL BE THROWING MONEY FOWN THE DRAIN. The cost of the radiator purchased was £356.00 Oxford Duo Designer Radiator

Tried to contact tool station over the phone (obviously to get my money back) just to hear from them this is not possible????!!!! So no products no money, be aware !!!!!! Plus they never send an email or notification regarding this order…. Thieves.

Great in store, website terrible Once in store these guys are great, super helpful whenever possible. Well priced to be competitive with SF. Parking at Montrose branch in anything bigger than an estate car isn't the easiest but rarely a huge issue. The main problem and reason for 1* however, is the website, it's unusable for me 95% of the time "502 Bad Gateway" I reported this to them a year ago, spent ages going back and forth with their IT and have seen many others experience the same issue. They tried the usual clear cache look at browser settings, change browser and nothing works. Occasionally I can use the site through my phone but as soon as I sign in it locks me out on 502 bad gateway, regardless of browser. So I often find myself ordering elsewhere. I had originally placed a review on Trust Pilot giving them 3* as a "verified review" however, it would appear ToolStation have asked for the review to be removed and if Trust Pilot feel the need to censor verified and accurate reviews because a company asks them to remove it rather than addressing the root cause of the problem in the review the 1 star is more than fair. In addition, recently when trying to place an order on the phone, explaining the issue to them, I was advised they couldn't process the order over the phone and I should go online to place the order...

I ordered a wall fan from Tool station for £28 and booked the electrician in to do the work. Tool station had sent the incorrect fan, a ceiling fan costing £84- I returned it and they refunded my original price - however my electrician charged £50 call out fee, I am still awaiting from Tool station as the assistant said she could only refund me on my original order and I had to claim the £50 via tool station with a complaint- still awaiting this response as 2 days ago

Ordered in store for a door handle £200 they said it will arrive the next day. I went to collect and was told they didn't have it in stock at the warehouse, so they refunded me in store. I still haven't received my refund into my bank account! So I paid £200 for absolutely nothing! Really frustrating! Will be getting my bank to get the refund for me.

They do not even deserve 1star. Purchased an orbital Milwaukee sander on the 2nd of February. Sent almost immediately for repair as it doesn’t rotate. It came back and was exactly the same. So went for repair again. This time took 2 weeks because store manager (Lucy) didn’t send it off. Came back and still didn’t work. I called the repair centre and he tried telling me it doesn’t spin round! (Orbital sander!) the clues in the name fgs! My friend has the same tool and weirdly his spins round🤯.Then the store manager at cross green leeds (Lucy) became very confrontational and said stop been an awkward customer and just return it for refund and buy a different sander🤯. The fact I have many Milwaukee tools would suggest I would like the batteries to fit all my tools. This was obviously beyond her comprehension when I explained 🤪. She said other things that angered me so I left and contacted Andreia at customer care instead as I was in no mood for an argument with a stroppy young girl who obviously knows nothing of been a manager, tools for tradesmen or customer service. Now Andreia atleast tried to sort it out. But then her manager stepped in and basically said my time and money going back and forth to store was of no importance!😡 I was basically offered a poor alternative for which I’d have to purchase more from them to make work or a refund. After all the hassle I’m just gonna take my refund and never use them again! I’ve been using toolstation since it opened on an almost daily basis. If they don’t value my business I’m pretty sure they won’t value yours! Stay well clear and go elsewhere for your tools. Preferably somewhere with actual customer service!

I ordered a pair of gents slip on design safety boots which unfortunately were too small. Toolstation appear to use a third party for their footwear (Footsure Western Limited) whereby you are unable to return the item at the local Toolstation branch. For the return Toolstation offered a returns label and when the items is received by them, they would then deduct £9.99 from the original price paid! My advice is to steer clear if you are unsure whether the footwear will fit, otherwise you will be out of pocket:(

Bought 15W oven bulb which worked fine when installed but blew immediately when gas oven used first time. Previous bulb worked for years. My first bad experience of Toostation so very diappointing. Couldn't find how to leave review on their web site.
