"Terrible after sales service"

We have renovated two bathrooms using Perrin & Rowe products bought from The English Tapware Company in Melbourne. Quality and priced accordingly. Happy with that.
A few weeks ago we noticed a pool of water under our bath. The plumber found that the inner wall breech had ruptured and advised against continuing to use the heavy 210mm nickel spout as he said the weight was a problem.
We spoke directly to the owner of the English Tapware Company and he said he’d get back to us with some options. He also said the breech was not suited to the
spout despite the fact that the breech in question is compliant with Australian standards.
He failed to return any of our calls and messages since then. We are disappointed as his message to us says the breech is not suitable for the spout and on that basis it seems his company is selling a product that is at odds with the Australian standards that apply to inner wall breeches.
Our plumber has advised us to buy a lighter spout that will not cause us the same problem again. Given the poor treatment we have received from the director of The English Tapware Company we will go elsewhere to buy a new spout.

RESPONSE TO ENGLISH TAPWARE REPLY

The director of The English Tapware Company has written a clear response to our complaint about the poor quality of after sales service we experienced above. Well done.
If his text messages were as clear as this our problem would have been easily resolved. However, they were not clear at all and did not provide us with a clear solution to our problem.
We made several attempts to talk with him over the phone but apart from our first call, he did not return further calls, but sent text messages that were ambiguous and hard to decipher.
He said he would forward photographs of the range of spouts for consideration but such photographs were not forwarded to us.
I text message a suggestion that we would like to swap our 210 mm spout for a 190 mm spout but again received no reply either by phone or text message.
It was only after I posted the one star review above that I received an unhappy reply to advise me that the order for the 190mm spout had been cancelled. Whether the order had been made or not I cannot say. I can only say I was very surprised to learn that an order had apparently been made.
It’s unfortunate that this issue has resulted in this unpleasant stand off between us. It could have been avoided through clear and timely communications. We enjoyed doing business with The English Tapware Company and continue to rate their products highly.
Handled in the right way, this matter may yet enjoy a positive outcome for all parties. We can only wait and see.

"Superb Experience"

Always found ETC staff brilliantly friendly & willing to communicate. We felt their available materials of exceptional quality & are most impressed w the results about our house! A small hiccup in the end finish for one of our items was most promptly rectified too. Truly impressive.

"Great Customer Service"

I contacted Marc regarding some replacement parts for our taps. He was very polite and easy to deal with. I love all our tap fittings in our home, they were purchased from The English Tapware Company before we purchased our property. I would have no hesitation in purchasing from this Company in the future.

"It wasn’t Susies fault but COVID had…"

It wasn’t Susies fault but COVID had resulted in a lot of out of stocks so I had to compromise on choice of hardware. In fact I had to source completely different tapware to that specified by interior designers. Overall happy though.
