DONT GO NEAR THIS COMPANY!

Advantages: looks good in photos
Disadvantages: poor poor quality

the quality of merchandise from this company is appalling, it took four toilets before i got one that wasnt broken or cracked, as we only have one toilet this has been a nightmare, the taps are all leaking and the chrome is peeling off, the bath is starting to crack and split . this has just been a total nightmare and they dont want to know the most annoying thing is that the rest of the bathroom has been tiled around this suite and now i have to ...

Review of Victoria Plumb - victoriaplumb.com

terrible experience with customer care

Advantages: good value for the product
Disadvantages: appalling treatment, illogical reasoning, especially as hire purchase was not the issue

...for baths. found one on victoria plumb that i liked, good price too. and so the saga started: placed the order no problems, had a phone call from the company to arrange delivery. then had another phone call 2 days later to say that they were not happy that the card used to pay for the order was in a different name to the name order placed in. although payment had gone through, they refused to let the prder be delivered, and cancelled it. this is ...
...laced in married name, credit card in pre marriage name. so, thinking logically as i thought, i placed the order in the pre marriage name. but no, payment gone through, but snotty woman called to say she wanted me to send them proof of identity, like a bill to prove that i wasn't scamming them. this is still v perplexing for me as i wasn't buying it on hire purchase, so i refused as this is a gross invasion of privacy, so she cancelled order again. ...

Frameless Pivot Shower Door 760 - that leaks!!!!

Advantages: The door itself is a nice looking product.
Disadvantages: CUSTOMER SERVICE IS SHOCKING AND STAFF ARE RUDE

BE WARNED....I wouldn't go near this comany with a barge pole! We bought a shower door from them and had it fitted by qualified bathroom fitters...no problem with the fitting of the door but when you try and use the shower water pours out the bottom of it, its clear the seal provided is inadequate. We contacted the company to request a new seal be posted to us, guess what? they dont want to know, they say they have had no probs with any other door ...

Victoria Plumb-Winchester Toilet & Cistern

Advantages: Looks good, but looks can be decieving
Disadvantages: Whilst this product looks great, it is very difficult to keep clean due to the shape of the toilet

Service with Victoria Plumb was relatively quick. Their returns system is very expensive as you have to pay £49.95 to return goods and then the same for a replacement. the courier who delivers does not collect, so you have to pay twice, which is a rip off. Customer service staff are very unhelpful and will not call you back. Whilst this product looks great, it is very difficult to keep clean due to the shape of the toilet bowl (ledge shape) . Everytime ...

DO NOT BUY FROM VICTORIA PLUMB READ CUSTOMER REVIEWS FIRST!!

Advantages: I can't think of a single one!
Disadvantages: Faulty products and probably the worst customer services I've ever come across

...and repair, remove and reinstall new stuff...what should have been a simple one day job will have run into weeks by the time it's all finally fixed. If I'd found this review site earlier, I would not have ordered from Victoria Plumb and I certainly wouldn't recommend them to anyone. ...

The Oxymoron Of VictoriaPlumbs Customer Service

Advantages: Price
Disadvantages: Very poor quality products, useless packagaing, missing parts, clueless staff !

Bought 2 Brent & Riva Suite sinks and toilets plus the Kube bath. Very poor quality fittings and appalling packaging (lierally arrived in cardboard boxes with no poystyrene or impact absorbing packaging). One sink had a large sliver of enamel missing and had obviously left the factory that way because there were no reminants in the box. After one week of fitting one of the toilet "push flush" buttons jammed and repeatedly does so .. made of very ...
...silicon flanges missing so could not be used for 2 weeks whilst we waited for replacements to be sent. The Kube bath came with a very flimsy stand and no screws to attach to the base plate, the pre-drilled holes described in the instructions did not exist. Had to make a wooden frame to mount the bath in, however the are no support blocks on the underside of the rim so had to fashion and attach our own. Customer Service was just about non-existant ...

AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE. THESE ARE HORRIBLE PEOPLE TO DEAL WITH

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Lots to list. Customer service should be renamed Customer Dis-service

Please please please take heed of all the negative reviews. I didn`t and suffered. Boughta shower door, obviously attracted by the low price. When it arrived, the plumber took off the top cover and said that it would not fit as it was a 760 and not a 900. So checked with Customer service who agreed that they will take it back as we were getting a replacement and on condition that we pay the collection charge and delivery charge for replacement. When ...
...on different day to delivery. Lies. They called me few days before to say that the door would be delivered and same person will pick up door to be returned. Told you it was lies. I then get a letter saying that I will not get a refund as door was in unsellable condition. I phoned and spoke to an obnoxious woman who thought she owned the company and more or less immediately told me that I was welcome to take the matter up with Trading Standards. I ...

Review of Victoria Plumb - victoriaplumb.com

Inferior goods, bad customer service.

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Inferior goods that rust and break. Hardly appropriate for bathroom fittings.

Having purchased a bath, shower, shower screen, two taps and shower attachment, I had nothing but problems with this company. The basin tap was scratched, and initially, they replaced it free of charge, not bothering to collect the old one. When my shower was to be fitted, I found a part missing. After many fruitless phone calls, and having to keep my plumber on hold for quite a while, it eventually arrived. I had to pay for each phone call to ...
...though I had the name of the recipient of the call. It was extremely hard work. Less than two years after fitting, I found that the waste mechanism in the hand basin was so badly rusted through that it was about to rot away completely. I mailed the company and again, and their response was that as I'd had it over a year, I would have to buy a new tap. They 'helpfully' informed me that it was on sale for £49.00. Why would I purchase another tap ...

Bad service, WARNING STAY AWAY from Vitoriaplumb

Advantages: Nice website
Disadvantages: Bad Afterservice

Hi, I decided to order from victoriaplumb after visiting the website from a leaflet I found at my friends house. I purchased the suite and had ot delivered, on installtion I found the items to be of poor quality and not suitable, victoriaplumb would refuse to give me a refund. The customer care was appalling from start to finish, be warned the toilets are of bad quality. The touilet itsself looked good apart from the thin seat that looked like it ...

don't buy from this company

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: many terrible customer service and it appears something always goes wrong

Ordered a right hand walk in shower from these people when it came we had been delivered a left hand one called customer services and arranged to have replacment sent 8 days later (not happy at delay) but had to agree as they couldnt do anything sooner - called the day before delivery as I should have received a text advising am or pm delivery but the delivery hadn't been put through and the advisor had put notes on the account saying I wouldn't ...
...down - finally after lots of phone calls on my part got the right shower base 2 weeks later - then I stupidly gave them the benefit of the doubt and ordered a sink basin & unit - when it turned up the sink was smashed so my husband refused to accept that and just accepted the base unit which when we came to check it was scratched - called customer services and told them I didn't want a replacement and to arrange collection and to refund me my money ...

Quick review of Victoria Plumb - victoriaplumb.com

Victoria Plumb do not pass on the 2.5% VAT Reduction. We were about to order a bath and 2 showers from Victoria Plumb and e-mailed them to ask if they would be reducing their prices to reflect the VAT reduction. They came back promptly and said that all prices on the website now reflected the Vat reduction and that the prices on the website were correct. The prices are still the same as before. All they seem to have done is increase their price. So when seeing all the negative reviews along with the extra profit taking we will be placing our order elsewhere. ...

Victoriaplumb - Don't touch with a bargepole!!

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Many

All I can say about Victoria Plumb, is STAY AWAY!! Pay a little more and go to a reputable company where you can touch and feel the products and more importantly, take them back if they are faulty! My products arrived without a hitch and I thought we were off to a good start but unfortunately not. Nothing fits properly, the toilet seat wobbles about when I sit on it; the taps constantly drip and the quality of the ceramic is awful. But, I could ...
...the products) if only I could get hold of somebody at Victoriaplumb that will speak to me. When you ring them to report a fault, you are supposed to be called back within 48 hours. Well, for a start, this is not good enough for me. I want a new tap within days, not weeks. Then, you don't get the promised call back within 48 hours and you ring again, only to get put on hold several times and then be given another 24 hours notice to get another call ...
