Soozy, I would change the bath.  I know at the moment you're fed up with all of the hassles you've had with the bathroom. But in time you'll regret not changing it.  Doesn't matter how you hide it, you'll always know they are there 

I agree with all Cinds has said Soozy. It's a disgrace you where sent the wrong one in the first place but to have to wait 6 weeks for another is an absolute disgrace 

Its terrible how they are messing you about and I would definitely go after some form of compensation or a reduction in costs 

Too late Cinds - we had a day out at Flamingoland with the boys yesterday - I was waiting for the bath people to call and they just didn't. I got my daughter to ring them and they said they would give me £50 off or 6 weeks wait for another one

I was freezing cold, wet and miserable (water chute rides in the rain) - all I wanted was to get home and warm up - I finally broke - knowing there was a plumber at home  I rang him and told him to get on with it.

Impatience is my middle name The bath was fandabbydozy

Never heard of a bath with pre-drilled holes.

I agree with Cinds - they'll always annoy.

Soozy you can buy tap hole blanking plugs 

moonie - I will be going for them all guns blazing once I have everything that I ordered. I'm still waiting for the 'knobs' for my shower - they won't be here until NEXT THURSDAY!!! - I told the guy that I admired his honesty (at last) - it is all really beyond ridiculous considering I ordered the stuff three weeks ago and it should have been sewn up in two orders - one five days later and the next one seven

Never mind - I'm a lot happier now that it is taking shape and I can at last have a bath. 

My hairdrier is fitted in a drawer too - That makes me very happy 

 that sounds promising 

Good news about the hairdrier at least  

That company sound like a bunch of cowboys Soozy 

Yes but they're a but 'functional and ugly' - I'm seeing the plumber tonight - he's suggested getting a chrome plate made - we'll see - I think it calls for some creativity.

I hope you manage to find a solution you're happy with, Soozy.

Wont it leak? Isn't water bound to get through the holes etc if they aren't sealed?

No - it's a free standing roll top bath - there's a sort of little ledge on the side with two holes in it - -difficult to explain but it's perfectly functional.

 

1 / 1

 The holes are where the taps are on a sort of ledge - my taps are in the wall 

Ahh gotcha Soozy

as the bath is free standing what's to stop you going ahead with the original one and in six weeks get the plumber to swop them over - their fault it is wrong and becomes second hand as you will have used it - customer satisfaction should always come first IMO  and it is their mistake

That has crossed my mind Mrs H .............I might get Mr Woo (or my daughter) to ring them up and suggest it - I've ranted and raved at them enough - it needs someone strong and assertive - it's a possibility.

I would definitely do that Soozy.  I know you want it over with quickly, but I promise you, they will irritate you eventually.

But you can't really avoid the odd splash or two, so unless you get the holes sealed you can look forward to a lifetime of  mopping up under and at the back.

Even the ledge destroys the purity of the design  

Get on the blower  

When we had our bathroom done (about 6 yrs ago) we ordered a very square shaped bath, loo and washbasin (it was right trendy then - we were trailblazers!!)

We booked the plumber, he arrived at the allotted time, unpacked the bath etc, and they had sent a really old fashioned suite, not our super-duper square one at all.

We phoned, they said sorry, they would deliver the one that we ordered in two week's time, the plumber couldn't fit us in then, so we said sod it, just put in what they had delivered.

I have hated it every day since ...

Sorry i haven't got a clue nor an opinion.

Hope that helps
