Great simple purchase.

Everything was made nice and simple, the staff explained what type of system I would get all the relevant information was emailed to me. The delivery date was set with no hassle to suit me I am a very happy customer.

I ordered a whirlpool bath which I was told was in stock and available but turned out not to be at the last minute. In the end we were able to compromise by choosing a slightly different bath which was delivered on time and works perfectly so in the end it was a good experience.

The bath was damaged

The bath was damaged. It was reported but they did not respond. A picture was sent to them. Heard nothing. Had to fit the bath as plumber was on site. Disappointing!

Our bath arrived damaged

Our bath arrived damaged. Unfortunately our fitter couldn’t fit it for a few weeks. By the time the wrapping was removed the time to inform the company of any issues had lapsed. Or so they said! They point blank refused to accept that it was their problem. Blaming the couriers!! There were two points of damage that were consistent with the very tight wrapping tying the bath the wooden framework for transportation. We sent pictures immediately upon inspection to the company but it made no difference. We were amazed at the arrogance of the manager who refused to accept responsibility of any kind saying that it was ‘impossible’ for the damage to have happened at their end. He offered to pay for half the cost of repair!!! Hmm a slight hint at responsibility? A very nice bath in the end hence the three stars but customer service was appalling. It cost a further £150 to repair the damage by an independent company. Be warned people!

Avoid at all costs

Surprise, surprise! They won’t allow you to write a review on their own website! Disgusting after sales service! I had to put plumber off on three separate occasions because of their lack of awareness of what has/hasn’t been delivered!

Hi Jason,
Sorry to read your review.
I can see the pop up waste went missing from the pallet but a new one was posted straight away.

I'll drop you an email and see if there is anything I can do.

Wrong bath sent and 2 weeks later, still chasing up for essential accessories & refund!

We ordered a 23-jet L-shaped shower bath from Whirlpool Bath Shop, including upgrades and accessories, paying over £1300! Firstly, they repeatedly insisted on charging me for the wrong bath filler/overflow accessory. Managed to get this sorted after repeated phone calls and emails, and before the bath was delivered. Then hurray, received the bath the following week with clear instructions from the company saying that they take no responsibility if we don't inspect the bath kerb-side and make sure it is indeed the item we had ordered and had no damage. The delivery company driver was shocked and to say the least, not pleased at all to hear that we wouldn't sign the paperwork without inspecting the bath - surely, one would've thought this arrangement would've been made clear to the delivery company. Anyways, whilst on the pavement outside our house, we realised that the bath had the wrong number of jets fitted in it - it had only 21 jets when we'd ordered a 23-jet bath. The biggest shock was the fact that the bath came with an inspection certificate signed off by the company's engineer stating clearly that there indeed were 23 jets fitted to the bath! The delivery was made a little after 4pm on a Wednesday (mid-Aug 2020), and we phoned Whirlpool Bath Shop to see what they've got to say about this whilst the delivery driver was still around. Initially, we couldn't get hold of anyone. A very nice lady at Reception who then answered the phone said she would make a note of the situation, and that she would have someone phone back first thing in the morning the next day. There was absolutely no communication from the company the next day. After phoning in/sending emails myself, and sending in pictures of the bath, one of their customer care representatives offered to refund us £50 for missing the 2 air spa jets that should have been in the bath, citing an oversight at their end. As much as we were not convinced with this, as we also noticed what looked like damage to the Supercast (extra upgrade) to the bottom of the bath, we decided to accept the £50 compensation as the company claimed they couldn't send anyone over to fit 2 extra jets, or replace the bath. 2 weeks and numerous emails and phone calls later, we have still not received the refund....PLUS the bath was missing the shower screen it should've come with! At no point before delivery were we notified that the shower screen was back-ordered and was unavailable from their supplier likely until early September. All I keep asking them is an estimated delivery date for the shower screen - I've been assured at least couple of times that they would send me an email regarding this, but NOTHING! So, now, 2 weeks after the bath was delivered, we have a bath with the WRONG number of jets in it, NO COMPENSATION for the mistake made, and missing the vital SHOWER SCREEN in the bath. Our plumber is yet to fit the bath, and it remains to be seen then what other surprises are in store for us in the next few days! Based on our experience so far, I would urge anyone who plans to order from this company, to think twice, because their customer care is clearly abysmal!

Took a while to sort out delivery 1st

Took a while to sort out delivery 1st, 2nd date missed 3rd date successful.
I would like to stress that the shop was not at fault and handled the order with care and courtesy. The supplier delivered a blemished bath first which was reordered, then a damaged bath and finally a satisfactory bath, the retailer picked up on all faults and when they had a satisfactory quality,fitted the spa pumps quickly and efficiently before finalising my order. Thankyou

Leaking bath, lack of customer care- Avoid using this company.Sr

Where to Start!

We also purchased bath pre lock down. Company closed the factory/ warehouse which was not an issue. However, Only issue they decided not to inform their customers of this.

Bath fitted to discover it was leaking from jet points, before it was even wired in. Called them to advised of the issue, had to leave message after message, emails, video also calling several times a day to get it resolved.
Finally we had someone out to fix bath And was he was here fixing it for 2 1/2 hours. However, do to the work on the bath we lost a day rate with our Plummer of £250 down. Also we did not want to continue work on our bathroom if we had to remove faulty bath.

Week later bath and was leaking again from the jet points. Again left messages, emails, videos of what was happening. Again having to call and chase up every left message and email. Again no response! Week later I receive a call from Alan the MD, who wanted to investigate it. Hurray, I thought!

Alan arranged an engineer from the workshop for the following Monday. However there wasn’t a engineer for whirlpool available as there is only one engineer who has a 6 week wait? Monday came and no engineer. Alex called Tuesday to say earliest he could arrive was Friday! In the end he managed to come to ours earlier as we could not do Friday.
Once “fixed” I then again had to chase up Alan on his investigation... to be then told in a email we man handled the bath when transported, so it caused the jet points to leak?! Unsure how the bath a week later it was fixed, could leak again if we man handled it, as not transported any where?

I often want to purchase from local independent companies, however they have fail on first hurdles of communication and lack of customer care.

We were informed it was a good Will gesture of them fixing it for us and we given some bath salts!

I would not recommend using them and along the road gave the company the opportunity to resolve the issues in good time. We are now £250 short, a bath that has potential of leaking again and a shorten warranty.

Hi,

It is correct the company was in lock down until the end of May and both our telephone message and pre return email reflected this.

Bath was manufactured and delivered by our van service as local delivery. A report of multileaks was reported on 29/6 and an internal engineer attended and made good the same day. A further leak was reported and made good a week later.

The bath as all baths prior to despatch passed our QA water and electrical test, and a study of the testing video showed no leaks. We have advised Mrs Spake of this for reassurance and we are happy to commence the warranty from the 1/7/2020.

Here's a timeline - you decide...

I won't bore you with personal feelings (scroll to the end if you'd like them) - here is a timeline and you can decide for yourselves:

26.06.20 - Bath ordered, email received to confirm this.

27.06.20 - Received a call from a very nice lady who explained they were no longer able to obtain the bath I'd ordered from their supplier. I was given two alternatives they stock, however due to the extremely awkward space the bath would be fitted it wasn't just a simple length and width substitution needed. I was informed I needed to go onto the manufacturers websites to find all the dimensions needed (which was not a problem) and we agreed I'd call back the following week.

29.06.20 - Called and explained that the alternative baths wouldn't be an option for us as they would not fit into the space, I was quickly told the colleague who I spoke to previously was on break and would call back within the hour

30.06.20 - Called again as a call back was not received. I was informed again that this would be passed to a colleague to deal with and someone would call me back.

a week or so passed..

08.07.20 - Still awaiting a call back. I call again, I explain the situation again. I asked for a refund as they were unable to provide the product ordered and the alternatives offered wouldn't fit. I was informed that the request would be passed to a gentleman that day and my refund would be processed.

10 working days pass and no refund received...

Email sent 22/07 stating the situation again, that I understood the limitations due to the current Covid situation, however, I need an update on my refund.

27.08.20 - Called to ensure my email was received as I hadn't received acknowledgement, assured that my refund would be processed that day however could take 7-10 days to clear into my account.

Today is the 10th day - The refund has not been received, I've called my bank and there are no pending transactions!

FAO: The Whirlpool Bath Shop,

I honestly have far better things to do than chase you up on what should be a fairly straight forward request and process. I've never previously left a negative review for any other company - as a business owner I understand that things don't always run as smoothly as we would hope and I find writing this review extremely uncomfortable, however, I do feel that I have given ample opportunity for this issue to be resolved and have been left with very little option then to vocalise this on a public platform in the hope that somebody will get back to me and my refund will finally be processed.

Worst Comapny Ever Used! Stay Away & Save Your Money!

The worst decision ever to purchase from this company. First the company made false promises of delivery dates which resulted in myself losing several days of work and fees that I had to pay the builder who i booked in. Then once a date was decided they advised the bathtub arrived broke and they can send me another one which was advised as a higher spec but was actually a lower spec one. Then they sent be the incorrect bath panels 4 different times. All this resulted in me losing over £1000 of builder fees and 5 days of work. I will be writing this review on all social media platforms so that all buyers can save their money and purchase from elsewhere. A lot of advisors were very rude and unprofessional so I recommend you save your money and go elsewhere. I am still losing money daily and time off work as they still have not provided me with the correct bath panels. Stay away from this company as they have no sense of customer service or care for your time or money!

Hello Has,

Thank you for your review, I have looked into this today. We apologise for the problems you have had, especially around delivery delays, a lot of our industry is still adjusting after the lock down which is causing delays on some products.

Regarding the bath. You ordered a bath that we sell for £320.82 ex vat, because it was damaged we supplied you with the same size bath from one of our premium ranges that start from £566.49 ex vat, link below.

https://www.thewhirlpoolbathshop.com/search/products?page=1&keywords=plane&filters%5B%5D=1-double+ended

Your partner advised us today how much she loved the bath. We have arranged to collect the panels and will refund this.

Please email aftercare@watermarkspas.co.uk should you need to contact us again.

Dreadful company . Worst I’ve ever dealt with!

Ordered a whirlpool bath. Had nothing but problems from day 1!. No communication during lockdown (as stated on their pre recorded message). Heard nothing for 3 Months despite numerous e mails! Then eventually got hold of someone who said our brand new bath was ‘faulty’, so the motor had to be changed . Still awaiting end and side panels 6 months on despite being promised them months ago. Avoid like the plague! They take your money and provide Zero customer service !
Ok I’ve just ring to complain and they’ve HUNG UP on me. It gets worse !!!!
If I could award ZERO STARS I Would!!!
Update: 29 June 2020
STILL no bath panels received.
Getting beyond a joke.
Was told I’d hear from the suppliers direct.
Heard nothing.
Have now e mailed the MD direct to try and get this ongoing FARCE resolved!

Dear Mr Ernest,

We are very sorry for the problems you experienced.

It is regrettable the panels did not come with the bath but we always try to concur with our customers booked time with their plumber, and sent with the bath. The panels are the final part of the job and we asked our supplier to send direct to arrive a couple days later. Regrettably this was not done before their covid lockdown and we did not check on our return on May 13 to make sure this had been done. Very many apologies for this, the panels are being organised now to be sent.

Please email alan@watermarkspas.co.uk about the pump as we don't have any notes about this, or if you have any other questions.

Hi Robert,

Apologies for the problems you have experienced. Customer service is very important to us and we have a team of national engineers to back us should there be a problem of this nature. We also ensure that every bath is both electrically and water tested prior to despatch. In normal times we would be pleased to send an engineer to assess whether this is warranty issue , but in any case we would have made good. Regrettably our engineers have only just returned after the covid lockdown, but we do apologise that we have not been able to communicate better with you.

We will contact you by email about the extra work your plumber had to do and sort this out.
