Damaged or Scratched Goods / Missing Parts / Defective Goods / Replacement Products

Merlin Bathrooms Ltd endeavour to inspect all product packaging prior to any delivery to ensure goods are received in good condition.

Any claims for faulty or missing parts must be made to PJH Distributors if delivery was via PJH  or Merlin Bathrooms Ltd as soon as is practical after discovery (within 3 days of delivery)

 

IMPORTANT: Please examine the goods prior to fitting.  Once fitted, you will be deemed to have accepted any defects which should have been noticed with reasonable examination.

In the event of any product supplied being defective, we will work with you to agree the best way forward which could either be a refund (either full or part) or undertake to arrange repair or replace the product free of charge, whichever is appropriate. 

 

Procedure for Replacement Products

a              If the reason for change lies with Merlin Bathrooms Ltd ie incorrectly specified, or, is an obvious manufacturing defect;

We either supply the product as a direct replacement, or, where there is a difference in product cost, we take debit/credit card details, but only charge for the replacement product once the original item has been returned and credited. The original item must be returned within 48 hours of the new product delivery, and be in a re-saleable condition. In usual circumstances, we would deliver and collect at the same time.

 

b              If the reason for change is not the fault of Merlin Bathrooms Ltd

We put the charge for your replacement product on your debit/credit card and will credit for the original, once inspected, to ensure the product is in the original packaging and can be resold ‘as new’. A restocking charge of 25% will apply.

 

Ex-Display Items

Ex-display items may have minor defects.  We would expect you to examine the goods prior to purchase, plus, we will endeavour to highlight any known defect prior to purchase.  Defects which are obviously apparent or which have been made known prior to purchase are deemed to have been accepted.

There is no specific guarantee period, although ex-display items still have to be of satisfactory quality, to fit their intended purpose and be as described.

 Returns

Merlin Bathrooms Ltd will accept returns of unwanted goods within 7 days of delivery (exceptions below) however a restocking charge of 25% will be applicable. For Tile returns – see ‘Tile’ section.

Returns will only be accepted if goods are ‘as new’. Ie complete & still sealed in the original packaging, as in most circumstances they will be returned to our suppliers for resale.

 Shower Trays / Enclosures / Baths

We request that you firstly ensure that the correct goods have been delivered in accordance with your order, BEFORE opening the packaging to inspect the products.

In the event of damage which could only be discovered upon removing packaging, we will of course take responsibility.

Design Service

The site visit is essentially for the purpose of taking relevant dimensions, giving layout and product advice, as well as gaining a clear understanding of the customer needs and how the products in our showroom would best work for your bathroom space.

In older properties, a designer visit or subsequent installation survey may not always reveal issues within the building and as a result, additional work may be required or the plans may need to be reviewed. Any changes that may be needed will always be fully agreed in writing with clients before being implemented.

Our 3D design drawings are part of our sales package and therefore do not carry any guarantee as to the dimensions or actual design if products are purchased from an alternative source.

Tiles

IMPORTANT: Our tile quotations are an estimate, and are intended purely as a guide to the approximate cost of the product. 

We strongly recommend that the no of tiles required should be checked with your installer as there are many variations in how tiles can be laid depending on customer/installer preferences. We would recommend allowing a minimum of 10% over the strict measurement as additional tiles ordered at a later date will often have a shade variation . Tiles are non-returnable.

Toilet Seats

Merlin Bathrooms Ltd cannot accept the return of any Toilet Seat and Cover once it has been opened and fitted to the intended WC unless defective or mis-described. Toilet Seats are not guaranteed to fit all WCs and are purchased at the Customer's own risk.

 Bathroom Furniture /Specially Made Products

Due to supplier policies, certain products cannot be returned to Merlin Bathrooms Ltd unless they are mis-described or not of satisfactory quality. These will include ALL furniture and 'specials' made to customer specification.
