Anyone on here use Better Bathrooms? I've purchased from them a few times now. Great customer service, good quality products at low prices & now a new free trade scheme which looks good. I've just signed up.

I use Victoria plumb have done for about 2 years find there stuff ok and cheep people moan about there customer service. I spend about 2k a month with them and never had any major problems sometimes damaged goods but they always send replacement next day and you get to keep the damaged items plus you get extra 10% off on trade.

I've used Vicy & Plumbworld also. They are both good & cheap. Just feel that Better Bathrooms go that extra mile & the free Trade Scheme looks great. I've done my profile already. Great idea if it works & can't moan when it's free!

Bathbase for me, massive choice from budget up to Hudson reed gear, good profit to be made before you strike a blow and delivery usually within two to three days.

Looks a very clever scheme.......

ok, ive a question......once you get to 10,000 points on the scheme, they send you a cheque. How do you show that cheque in your books? Surely it is a capital gains? So must be taxed? This scheme mirrors what C*D (cant bring myself to say the name!) do as well, again i believe a cheque is sent.

Im curious to know what or how this is done.

You can also leave £500 on the account. I'd be more inclined to use this if I used them enough to get to 10,000 points.

One of my customers had problems with them..wouldn't touch them with a barge pole!!!!

 

[Bubblecraft]

Really? What was the problem? I've used them for about 5 bathroom suits & not had any probs

 

[Andy Tiler]

Upto now? They were messing my customer about.. the tiles they supplied were sub standard!the pottery turned up with stuff missing.so I had to go over to there warehouse (bunch of numpties didn't have a clue))on my day off and show them the problems
!!! They wouldn't take my customers word for it. And they wouldn't evan offer them there money back.discracefull company if you ask me! Rant over bak to work

 

[Bubblecraft]

That's good to know. Cheers Andy

If you're spending 2k a month you're better off going to a distributor mate

To be honest I'm in talks with a investor about opening a bathroom showroom so will be looking at distributors. The prices some firms are charging for full bath refubs astounds me I can't justify over charging by thousands.

Funny you should say that. I was doing a bathroom fit & the neighbour asked me if I'd quote her for her bathroom. Got the job & when I started a few months later, she just had her kitchen done. It was a shambles & unfinished. She was charged over twelve thousand for it. I told her I could have supplied & fitted her whole bathroom & kitchen for less than that & fully finished right down to the decor. She didn't know I did kitchens too! She was mortified!

I cannot justify silly prices on my quotes. It's embarrassing!

 

[EverDon Tiling]

There's a company here that are charging in the mid teens for bathrooms I could do for 6 still making a tidy profit. It baffles me I want to make money don't get me wrong on that but I also what the customer to get value for money.

I used to subcontract to a bathroom showroom and one of my customers picked my card up from a supplier to do a wetroom. They had a quote from the showroom and a quote from myself. 4.5k difference. The ironic thing was if they had of gone with the showroom it would more than likely have been me that did the job for them.

Win Win.
