I ordered a cheap bathroom suite from them.

They're cheap and I didn't expect much but I am shocked at just how awful the quality is. The bath's going back, will persevere with the basin and bog, but I think I'm in for a whole world of frustration.

I wish I'd researched this company before I ordered

Try better bathrooms. So far have had good quality and excellent delivery service.

Just had a text from my neighbour. He's been fighting with their shyte for 2 weeks on hours bathroom refurb. Just discovered why he can't fix the leak on the bog....


Turned out to be a hole in the casting of the pan.

Send it all back now - you know it makes sense!

Is that VP or BB?

VP.

VP are the same company as MFI, who you will recall disappeared off the high street a few years ago as they were a bit rubbish

MFI, 'Might Fall In 2'. Although they have resurfaced, online only now though I believe. http://www.mfi.co.uk/

I did some driving for them many moons ago from their distribution centre at Northampton, organised chaos wasn't the word....

I did manage to install the bog today, after replacing all the fittings

Hope it'll flush the waste away properly!

Thanks everyone for the heads up about mfi.

I fitted a bog last week- customer complained of a leak.
There's a fault in the pan that leaks when it's flushed
Oh well, at least they supplied the thing and I haven't got to replace it.

Haha I think newboy was right!

Went to fit the vanity unit this morning, pop up waste lever fouls on back of unit

I could modify it but have had enough, and have someone to take it off my hands.

Bog's still working though

Never again!

So what was wrong with the bath?

On what basis did you return it?

What did you expect with something cheap?

Call me naive if you like but I'd never seen a plastic bath without a timber surround and cradle before. So I guess I did expect it to be rigid enough that it wouldn't pull the sealant away if someone leant on it. No pictures of the underside on the website either, nor a drawing.

But they offer on their website to take things back if I am not satisfied, and as the bath met the terms and conditions for a return, I sent it back.

I'll now save up for a better one.

Victoria Plumb at its best.

You shouldn't have used the 2" packing screws to attach the legs.
