Tried to phone them on 3 occasions, holding on for over 30 minutes each time, before hanging up. Decided to email and had to wait 3 days for a reply. I asked to purchase a part for a shower cubicle which is now over 12 months old. I was advised that they could not help me as they did not sell the parts and since I was out of guarantee get on with it.

Ordered a bathroom suite from this company on Feb 25 ( more than 500 pounds worth). One item out of stock, delivery put back twice. Now 12 April and still no delivery. I took out a finance agreement with them through Barclays, they are now taking money from my account for goods I don't have. I decided to cancel the order.

I ordered a complete bathroom set - delivery was delayed for 2 months! Unfortunately the shower was not suitable for our wall and I was told by Victoria Plumb that they will charge me restocking fee. After challenging them, they agreed to a full refund.

If you research all the Bathroom companies in the UK, then buy from the cheapest one you can find, what do you expect? How do you think the manage to undercut the competition by so much? You get what you pay for with bathrooms in most cases. But even if you chose the most expensive bathroom company, you still shouldn't book your fitter on the day of your delivery. Bathrooms & plumbers are expensive, so when dealing with them, always assume the worst is going to happen. Get your delivery 5 days before, and check everything is present and in one piece. That way, if there's a problem, the company has time to rectify the problem before your fitter arrives.
' I would not use this company again' it's all well and good saying that but next time don't make the same mistakes yourself.

“toilet system”
Written on: 19/12/2012 by weller7
I have a trade account with vic plum. There gear is cheap but comes at a price for us tradesmen. I fitted a toilet and the donut between the system did'nt create any seal.. So when the toilet is flushed water goes everywhere. As im in the trade I realised before I flushed. I got a new donut seal and still not big enough. In the end I found a even bigger seal that sorted the problem. 7-8hrs to fit a toilet, I'm not happy. Many of the toilets have the same problem. You get what you pay for!!! (read more)

I bought a Wall Mounted Basin Mixer from Victoria Plumb. After about a year (just outside of warrantee) it developed a constant drip. I went back to Victoria plumb and they said they didn’t sell parts but that they used standard parts which could be sourced from a local plumber. I went to two plumbers who didn’t stock the same tap head. They said that because there were thousands of different tap heads on the market I would need to know the supplier to find the correct one.

Great review, and your absolutly correct.... this is why this company can sell their gear so cheaply. Go to somewhere like Bathstore, you'll find a lot of the stuff looks similar, but all their 'brassware' is made by Crosswater, a UK company who sell extensive spare parts, and have tech support online and on the phone. The key here is that most bathroom stuff looks very similar, but scratch the surface and there can be a lot of differences.
I design and fit bathrooms, and when I started, I tried to do it the cheap way. It's false economy, always buy from a store and ask about spares and warranties.

What you mean is you ordered the wrong parts yourself? Then you had your fitters start the job the same day as your delivery arrived? That's not the companies fault, that's YOUR FAULT!
Get your items a week before, check them yourself or get your fitter to check them.
If you book your fitter to start the same day as your delivery, what happens if something is missing? Or the van breaks down? Or crashes? Or they mis-pick an item? Or you oreder the wrong thing? etc etc so many things could go wrong I would NEVER trust any company to gaurantee a delivery.

You have no idea what I mean and obviously are a TROLL. For instance when you order a shower you expect all the parts to be there. You don't expect the wrong shower seal for a completely different shower to be included that doesn't work and when I reordered this part they sent me a part for another completely different shower. In the end I ordered the seal, costing me more from another company. I should shut up if I were you as you have no idea about other people's dealings and yes VICTORIA PLUM are the fault here - they have dreadful customer service as they don't talk directly to the supplier and it took 9 weeks for the wrong part to be delivered again....

From your reply I can tell your a very patient person and very understanding.
I'm a bit confused as to why you say 'get the builder to buy the parts'. Would this have stopped any company from sending you incorrect parts?
I assumed the only reason you would make such a statement would be bacause you ordered them incorrectly. No need to be so tetchy, I have the right of reply after all.

Impossible to order the incorrect parts. When you buy a shower cubicle it comes as a whole ie, all parts included (the glass doors, walls, handles and the seals). You don't order them as separately, you pay one price for all of the above to be included. So when my builder put my shower together, lo and behold Victoria Plumb had included the wrong part which they admittted and took 9 weeks to send another incorrect part. I bought my bathroom online from Victoria Plumb and my builder put it together. As I said I had a lovely looking shower but with incorrect seal so that I couldn't use it. After calling evey week for 8 weeks, I gave up and bought the seals from another company and them attached to the doors by my builders.
So what you're saying is that if you buy a telly and the supplier includes the wrong plug or leads, that you are in the wrong as you have obviously ordered incorrectly. No Victoria Plumb were in the wrong twice, I even gave them the part number which was included in the assembly instructions of the shower.

A lot of bathroom retailers are sourcing goods from the far east ie China, why? because they're cheaper and make more profit, British goods cost a little more but are generaly better quality, instead of looking at the low price tag just ask where they are made, or go on line and do a bit of research, Britain certainly isn't new to manufacturing bathroom products to a very high standard look at Armitage Shanks and the likes, superb quality, \" Buy cheap buy twice \"

I have just built a new house and went to Victoria Plumb and Bathstore to supply the bathroom fittings (3 toilets, 2 baths, 2 showers, taps, etc.).
I selected them because they were cheap. Buying from Victoria Plumb saved me abut £500 compared to a local supplier and this was important.

Nearly all acrylic baths come with a set of feet ( no frame ), so the fitter should ALWAYS baton around the wall under the bath to support. The bath should be filled with water, then left to settle, then seal around the edge. Quadrent shower trays can be fitted on the ground or raised up, you just neglected to buy the correct parts for your bathroom. A child could not pull down a cistern that's not attached to the wall, as it is bolted to the pan in three places, then the pan is bolted to the floor. Also there is NO SUCH THING as a standard toilet, they all differ in length, with & height.
Sorry but it seems you haven't learnt much, despite your so called bad experience.

Acrylic baths are made obviously from acrylic sheeting that ranges from cheap 3mm to the better quality 10mm thick when moulded into shape they are flexible and are then reinforced with fibreglass and a timber base, where the acrylic bends to make the shape of a bath the acrylic stretches and thins out and the sheeting can be just 2mm thick in these areas, so some cheap baths will flex and some even split, when you consider your weight plus 20 gallons of water weighing an extra 200lbs.
When buying a bath look at edge you will see how thick the sheeting was to make that bath, look at the bright white bit and not the fibreglass coating it has, you need to buy a bath where the acrylic sheet was at least 5mm thick plus the fibreglass reinforcement if the sheet is just 3mm ..Don'T just rely on the salesperson telling you how thick the sheeting is, check, I have caught out many sales staff this way, some of them are not even sure what I mean. BUY CHEAP BUY TWICE. BEST OF ALL BUY BRITISH

Acrylic sheeting comes in many thicknesses from just 3mm to 10mm and then they are coated with glass fibre to make them rigid, to check how thick a bath is before you buy it look at the edge and judge what thickness of acrylic was used to make the bath, it has two layers, acrylic that is bright white and the fibreglass coating which is off white, you only need check how thick the acrylic is, do it in the shop, and aim for at least 5mm
