    welcome to the world of supplying your own materials sometimes it doesn't work out as cheap, if you had let the installer supply them then if he was a good tradesman he would be responsible if they failed within two months.

    i didn't buy the tap from this retailer to save money, I bought it because I liked the tap and hadn't seen it any shops. Plus the installer only runs a one man business and could only have bought it from the same place I bought it and couldn't have guaranteed it wouldn't break or refitted it for free if it did.

    most installers if they supply materials will guarantee anything they supply (eg if i supply something & it fails within 12 months i will replace it foc, i will get the materials normally changed free but the labour will be my loss).
    I'm only here while I wait for Corrie to start.

    You get no BS from me & if I think you are wrong I WILL tell you.
