Victoria plumb, plumbing ???

[Russell griffiths]

Are these two places connected, or totally different outfits just using similar names

did I hear right that one of them was in trouble?

anybody recommend a good source for ceramic goods, bogs etc. 

 

Thanks russ.

There are others, e.g Victorian plumbing,  That still does not answer if they are related though.

Used to be connected by a director from memory and then set up rival company hence the change to a very close name. 

 

Not the best - standard high street stuff. 

 

If  you’re in the market right now, Eddison’s are clearing a big number of Bathstore franchises and have a lot of bargains but will be shop stock / displays etc.

The very worst tap that I have ever bought, bar none, came from Victoria Plumb.  It was part of a package of stuff I bought from them when I refurbished the bathroom in our old house.  The tap literally fell apart after about 18 months use, from internal corrosion.  When I replaced it I cut the thing open and was amazed to find that it was made from some sort of zinc alloy (the stuff commonly referred to as "shit metal").  This had corroded away so that in places all that was left was a paper-thin layer of chrome on the outside holding the thing together.  There was no way that it was compliant with the water regs, I'm pretty sure it was probably a bit of nasty Chinese tat they'd imported.
