As I mentioned in the bathroom design thread, we've just had our bathroom redone this week. The team finished the work on Friday and the old thirty year old bathroom is all shiny and new.
That's the good news.
When the owner of the company did the handover on Friday, my husband spotted a couple of minor issues (missed seal in the ceiling, missing hook for the light pull). No big deal, owner would come back on Monday to fix them. Once he leaves, we realise the crew have done a fair bit of cosmetic damage to the door frame so I'll need to repaint. Again, not the end of the world but I did think it odd they didn't comment on it during handover.
On Friday night, as I'm walking into the living room I spot a bubble in the living room ceiling. Quick dash upstairs and we find the new pipe for the shower is leaking. Between Friday night and now, we've discovered a second leak below the new sink, gaps around the ceiling lights (not visible during handover when they had the lights turned on), the new towel rail makes a clunking sound when anyone walks by the bathroom, and both the sink and the bath are super slow to drain. The bath, which was left filled to let the bath settle, is clocking in at 27 mins and counting and still a third full). They also removed the door to work in the bathroom and since going back on it is loose in the frame and rattles constantly if it's closed.
We've already been in touch with the company but it's showroom only at the weekends so waiting for a follow up tomorrow.
So, anyone have similar experiences to share? Any advice, tips, wisdom? Is the slow drain normal in modern bathrooms and I'm just being super critical?
