Checking your order and booking your fitter
Should I book my plumber before my tap or sink arrives?
Should I book my plumber before my tap or sink arrives?
We would always say check first, then book. Nearly every order arrives in perfect condition, but transit damage and missing parts do happen from time to time, and the worst moment to find out is when your old tap or sink is already out and your fitter is standing in the kitchen. Open the box on the day it arrives, give everything a quick look over, then book your fitting with confidence.
What should I check when my order arrives?
What should I check when my order arrives?
It takes about two minutes:
- Open every box on the day of delivery, even if the fitting is weeks away.
- Check the model, the finish and the size match what you ordered.
- Look over the tap or sink for any marks, dents or scratches.
- Check the parts are all there: hoses, fixings, wastes and any accessories listed on the product page.
- Keep the packaging until the fitting is done, just in case.
If anything is not right, take a couple of photos and get in touch before you book anyone in.
What happens if something is damaged or missing?
What happens if something is damaged or missing?
Tell us as soon as you spot it and we will get it put right. Email support@thetapcollection.co.uk with your order number and a couple of photos.
We will arrange a replacement item or send the missing parts as quickly as we can. You have 30 days from the delivery date to report damage or a fault, so there is no rush on the day itself, but the sooner you tell us, the sooner we can sort it.
I have already booked my plumber. What should I do?
I have already booked my plumber. What should I do?
Check your delivery as soon as it lands, ideally a few days before the fitting date. If something is wrong, call us straight away and tell us when your fitter is booked in for, and we will do everything we can to get a replacement to you in time. We are not able to cover a fitter's call out fee or time lost on the day, which is why we ask everyone to check the goods before booking.
Why do you ask customers to check before booking?
Why do you ask customers to check before booking?
Because once your old tap or sink is out, the new one needs to go straight in. A two minute check when the parcel arrives means no surprises on installation day, no second call out fee and no weekend without a working kitchen. It costs you nothing and it saves a lot of hassle.
