Hi,

I'm looking for a good plumber who would be able to fit shower tray, shower screen, shower, basin, basin cabinet and WC in 2 shower rooms at my house. I would be very grateful if someone could recommend someone or a firm who are reliable and will do a good job.

Thanks

Unfortunately, from bitter personal experience, I can tell you who not to use. He came with glowing recommendations from 2 good friends. Tiling is attrocious, walls uneven, chipped tiles, no tiling spacers used etc. But worst was that the toilet wasn't properly connected and flooded the floor when flushed. I won't name the man here, but if you would like to message me I'll let you know. I have many photos that I can back this up with.

We've asked for a complete refund as his work is just a complete waste of time, materials and money. We've also aked for his complaints book, but had no success - I'd guess that he doesn't have one.

Unfortunately i do not know of any tradesman with a complaint book, infact no tradesmen should need one  if there real tradesmen)…the trouble I have found in Spain. There are not many ( especially gas )  I am a electrician  , have been for well over 40 years.apprenticeship completed. ..in the uk. I’ve worked in France , and Germany , and throughout. The uk . Yes there are bad tradesmen we’re ever you go.  But Spain. Has so many who are so poor ( and that includes brits who pretend to be plumbers sparks etc etc )..and there’s no laws to stop them doing it. A little information is dangerous , and so many get it wrong ..even a lot of companies do as well ..my advice is to ask to see work they have done. Not pics in a book but actually see the work I have done lots of elect work in big factories , shops , hotels , houses etc. Yes I kept pics but I have taken people to jobs I have done ..( with permission of the person I did the work for..a handyman is just that he is not a qualified plumber , or electrician ..
