A huge and expensive disappointment
The whole experience was very disappointing. It took almost 7 weeks to complete (I was told it would be 3) and I do not have a second bathroom in my flat. It is a small space, and cost almost £40K. My original designer left the company without telling me, it turned out the measurements he took were incorrect meaning the door had to be cut down to make the design work. The demolition 'laborer' set off the fire alarm in the building multiple times and left my flat and garage wide open and unlocked. The first installer suddenly claimed he had back issues (it was now three weeks into the job) and obvious he was not going to finish on time. The London Bath Co. sent a new crew who ripped out all the work the first installer had done and began again. There is not enough space to list all the things that went wrong and the amount of frustration and inconvenience this renovation caused. This company charges 'a hefty premium' to manage the job from beginning to end. My so-called project manager never even came to the property, and sent ridiculous AI generated emails about how great the progress was that was being made - they need to change their business model to deliver what they promise. All my concerns were shared with the CEO Steve Baker. I asked for a 10% refund, he would not refund money - they require full payment up front - which I will NEVER agree to again. Instead, he apologised and offered additional work (lining of a storage space) and a 5 year warranty instead of 3. I do not typically write reviews that are damaging because we all have bad days, people are unreliable by nature, and things go wrong. However, just this week, I had to deal with a sub-par toilet handle installation - to get it to look the way it should fitting flush against the tile - it will require ripping out some of the tiles and shortening the connecting pipe. I also started to have flickering 'mood lighting' making the bathroom feel like a 80's disco. I was told the lighting installed was not compatible with the dimmer switch so nothing could be done. The mood lighting will have to stay on one setting or simply flicker! This is just two months after the project was finished. I wanted to use this company to also refurb my kitchen - it is a family run and local business which I always try to support. I am hugely disappointed and cannot recommend this company in good conscience to anyone.
