Jack and the team have been absolute savours for me and my home.

I had a kitchen tap that was leaking, actually driving me insane - called the number on the website, and within a day they had someone out to me and suggested I get a new tap, the chap went up the road, got the correct one for me (luckily I live right next door to Screwfix), and came back, and fitted it.

I am so insanely grateful to the guys for this.

Really happy with their service

Really happy with their service. Had a leaking shower screen - nothing major I think but they were able to replace it within a day and all good after that. Thanks so much Polkadot for your help.

Terrible service

We hired Polkadot to fix our leaking shower and a leaking kitchen tap. Despite multiple visits they failed to identify the source of the shower leak, their engineers disagreed about the source, and they spent hours resealing the shower which was totally unnecessary. While the engineers themselves seemed nice and fairly knowledgable, their back office support was awful, they were nearly impossible to reach by phone and they clearly hadn't briefed each new engineer they sent. I had to chase them multiple times to find out if the parts required to fix the kitchen tap had arrived and then having forgotten to bring the parts, the engineer had to return two more times to fit them and then again to correct the fitting after the tap leak persisted.

We are sorry that you have had a bad experience with Polkadot. We conducted a leak investigation which was inconclusive - you kindly paid for this visit. We came a second time to inspect the leak once more and we deduced that it was coming from gaps in the silicone around the shower tray. The silicone seal was replaced as a short term measure and we recommended that you also replace the tiles in the shower enclosure as the grout was cracked and showing signs of wear and tear. A quote was sent for this work but was rejected by you. The invoice for our silicone seal replacement has still not been paid for. We repaired your kitchen tap and returned free of charge (as per our labour warranty of 12 months) when you informed us that it was still dripping - the kitchen tap issue has now been resolved.

Good service

Difficult communication initially, but Jonathan was of a great help, kind and professional and the team offered a short term + long term solution to us, which is very satisfying.

I couldn’t recommend Polkadot Plumbers more highly. Jonathan came out to service our boiler and subsequently identified a gas leak from our cooker. He meticulously checked all the pipes, identified where the source of the leak was and replaced / fixed our gas pipes where needed.

A Plumber came to check central heating…

A Plumber came to check central heating for 2 non working radiators. He correctly identified they needed valve replacement but said he did not carry the parts on him (which were standard) or have the time to complete the job. He stayed in my property for 20 minutes but charged for a full hour plus parking. Quotes provided by the company for additional works involved an unnecessary power flush and were twice the price of quotes received elsewhere including the price to source the parts.

We charge for the first hour on all plumbing and heating issues, especially if the visit is for a diagnosis as per our terms and conditions. We do not always carry all parts needed for each and every eventuality. Replacing radiator valves can be a lengthy process as it often requires the draining down of a central heating system - we would not have completed this work on the day if we did not have time or if we were not authorised to do so by a quote having been accepted. We would have recommended a powerflush if the system was dirty. We are competitive in our pricing but of course there will always be someone out there to do the work for less.

Polka dot were extremely good and efficient. They went to extra trouble to sort out my dodgy water filter that had been messed around with by a previous plumber. They arrived early as requested. I can definitely recommend them.

Work was carried out quickly

Work was carried out quickly, professionally. Very satisfied. The only downside, and the reason I haven't given five stars was the very unpleasant receptionist, who refused to speak slowly (I have severe hearing loss) then sent me an incorrect email. Having paid the bill on completion, she then sent me an email asking for payment. This is obviously a good company - it's a shame that they employ some-one who can't be a little more pleasant.

Thank you Mrs Harman. We have had an internal discussion as to how to manage our customers who are hard of hearing and the outcome has been that we need to replace our office headphones. Many thanks for the feedback.

Shower leak fixed 11 months after initial work

11 Oct 2022
In January 2022, we employed Polkadot Plumbers to retile our shower, replace the tray and surrounding glass in order to fix a leak that had developed. They did what looked like a good job but the leak persisted and nine months and numerous emails later have still not remedied their work.

I have rated my experience as one star and will update this review when there is any further progress.

26 Nov 2022
Update: no further progress to report

14 Jan 2023
Update: Polkadot had engaged Cavalier Bathrooms to remedy the work. It took them several months to fit my job in but in December 2022, two men came and worked diligently over several days to replace the shower tray and retile much of the shower. They spent more time on this remedy than the Polkadot man spent on the initial job. I have delayed reporting to check that the work was good. Since completing the work before Christmas, the shower has worked as expected, has not leaked and as expected there were no additional charges.

In conclusion, I am happy that I now have a functioning shower but frustrated that it took so long to get the repair. I am upgrading the review to three stars.

This customer is completely justified in their levels of frustration. This is a warranty issue that we have been trying to resolve with the manufacturers for quite some time. We are trying to resolve this issue currently but the manufacturers continue to give us unrealistic timelines. We apologise for this inconvenience.
