We visited the bathstore franchise in Peterborough recently to get a quote for a new en-suite set…read morefor our home. We were served by the franchisee, who was very knowledgeable and helpful as you would expect. The store has a good variety of bathroom furnishings to view, and the staff are more than happy to arrange home visits to measure up. My only slight comment about Bathstore is that there goods are potentially slightly expensive for what they are.

I have had a very expensive bathroom fitted just over 2 and half years ago, since that time the…read morefloor has been re grouted 3 times, now the floor is showing between the tiles and Bathstore are refusing to put the grout right, the sink developed a hole in the base, Bathstore have supplied a new sink but refuse to install it, the coat hook fell off the door and cracked 2 floor tiles, the shower adjuster has broken and is now tied with string until I can find another part and now the toilet seat has cracked and does not soft close anymore and guess what Bathstore have refused to pay for another and want to charge me £40 for a new one. This last disaster with this bathroom which cost over £6000 has just about pushed me over the edge and I will never advise anyone to pay for fixtures or fittings from Bathstore. Don't believe the promises of guarantees as they will get out of them

What lets Premiere Kitchens down is their Customer Service department who are not very good at dealing with issues or returning calls. When spending the amount of money we did, the customer service offered by this company is disappointing.

Screwfix first became famous for their mail order business. But with delivery charges at £5,…read moresometimes that is not economical, Thankfully they have opened up branches of counters. 135 in all in the UK, Peterborough is just one of them. Think Wickes meets Argos and you wil have a good idea of what this place is like. To purchase anything, they have catlogues on benches. You fill in a slip with the part number and quanitity of what you want. You then pay at a desk where they check the stock level and then await it to arrive at another counter, a la Argos. It is handy and quiet useful, as if they do not have the item in stock, they will tell you when it is due in and you can pay and reserve the item there and then. Pricewise, they tend to be very competitive compared to the nearby Wickes store and are cheaper than Homebase. They also keep almost anything you would want from a builder's merchants, including work wear and sat navs. I use the website to see prices and then if they are the,most competitive, drop by and get the article I am interested in.

It is excellent that there is a Screwfix on the outskirts of Peterborough. I can look at what I…read morewant from the comfort of my own home on the internet and then pop straight there and get it. It saves on the delivery charge and means that I can get it straight away. The staff are always very helpful there and advise on what you need for the particular job that you are doing. I thought I needed a certain item and they advised that actually a less expensive item would do just fine and would possibly work even better for my needs. I recommend other people visiting here if they need anything for DIY!
