Very poor bathroom refit and cheap products used
Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 3.35 PM
I had my bathroom redesigned and refitted 18 months ago. Since this, I've had to have an electrician out and redo the electrical work (long list of inadequacy) but all rectified and managed to recover the costs back from original bathroom guy through small claims, that was 7 months ago. We have now more issues, due to water damage and very poor fitting vanity unit its falling apart (I've had 4 leaks since the refit and no sealant was used around the sink to protect any water going underneath units). We sealed it ourselves to the best of ability and given the poor quality and fit of the unit, its damaged beyond repair. The black taps installed all the black has come off exposing the chrome tap underneath and to top it off the shower tray has cracked (the bath was replaced by shower tray). The list is endless to the finishing touches but I won't bore you with those. I have sent photos and emailed the guy asking him to reimburse me the costs I'll incur in putting this all right (not had a response). Any advice would be great. I paid £4k for this refit less than 18 months ago and it's caused nothing but problems and is going to need some essential rectifying. I am willing to go through small claims again just wondered if anyone else has gone through anything similar or any professionals could give me some advice. Thanks
