    Does it matter? Buy your taps elsewhere.

    Oh. Negotiate a discount then if they can't perform and use that to buy the taps somewhere else. Alternatively buy your suite somewhere else. You'll do just as well and get better service from a plumbers merchant TBH.

    Wickes may have a supply problem but you do not. Just go somewhere else for your stuff.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.
  • i think wickes taps are made by 'Deva'. A good tap.

    Kitchen taps we had from wickes were made by astracast (had dealing with the manufacturer and needed a replacement). Be interested to know which supplier is the problem one.
