Tap valves for bath tap

⁹Was struggling to get tap valves from anywhere for my bath tap looks like they where not common size. Was advised try them. Went to shop and they was able to match the valves perfectly. Only down side was it was double the price to buy than other shops tap valves The only plus side was that they had them .So I bought them. The person at the trade counter was very helpful and polite.

Great customer service via WhatsApp

I interacted with the Customer Service directly through their WhatsApp channel. Within a few messages back-and-forth they were able to identify the shower tray trap that I needed (because I had accidentally thrown it away during our build).
What was more impressive? Was that I did didn’t buy the original shower tray directly from them yet they still managed to find the solution for me.
I will definitely be using them again in the future because Customer Service like this is rare to find.

Very disappointing and unprofessional company. I reported serious concerns about one of their drivers, including aggressive and intimidating driving, as well as concerns regarding abusive and potentially discriminatory language towards women.

The complaint process was extremely poor. It took around three weeks and required repeated chasing before I received a response. I was then offered a resolution by telephone rather than receiving everything properly in writing, which gave me the impression they wanted to deal with the matter informally rather than follow a proper complaints procedure.

They have also failed to provide any independent evidence from their own vehicle, such as dashcam, GPS, tracking or telematics, to support their driver's version of events. Instead, they highlighted that he has “40 years” of experience with no major incidents. A clean record does not prove what happened on this occasion.

Overall, the management came across as defensive, dismissive and more interested in protecting their employee than properly investigating the complaint. The whole approach feels outdated, rude and lacking accountability.

I would not recommend this company.

Reply from Baker & Soars

Dear Kelis,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us another review.

As per our ongoing email communication, we reiterate the following:
- This incident does not reflect our company's values
- Personal circumstances have delayed the ongoing investigation, and we have apologised for this, as well as the distress caused by the driver

We agree that an independent police investigation, which was prompted by you, is the best way forward

Finally, a telephone resolution has never been offered by us. Our correspondence has solely been via your reviews and email.

While we appreciate your perspective and have endeavoured to cooperate with your complaint, this will be our final response as matters are now with the police.

Best wishes,
Baker and Soars team

Cancelled order

Purchase from company for next day delivery as tiler is doing the floor. Took payment via the website and then send an email the next day at after 1pm cancelling order. this has left me little to know time to get a replacement and work has now stopped... in Future, call rather than email and let it be first thing in the morning, not in the afternoon.

Reply from Baker & Soars

Good morning Onome,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.

Although we are a Purus stockist, we only stock their popular range of products. Our delay was due to us trying to source this product for you and we were not aware of your urgency for a speedier delivery.

We do not offer next-day service on any product unless we have been contacted before orders have been placed. This is clearly stated in our delivery details section on our website.

We also have information specifically regarding next-day deliveries here: https://www.bakerandsoars.com/store/next-day-delivery.php

We offer a 48-hour delivery on items carried in stock. Again, clearly labelled across our website on individual products.

Your order was refunded immediately after contacting you.

It would have been beneficial to you to have called us to confirm stock availability before placing your order to avoid any disappointment for an urgent situation.

We are sorry for the inconvenience caused to your project and wish you the best.

Kind regards,
Baker and Soars Team

We needed a replacement tap handle but…

We needed a replacement tap handle but were struggling to find a replacment. The tap was purchased 6 years ago from a different supplier. These guys were great and helped check the dimentions and fittings over whatsapp so that the replacment fitted when it arrived. They even checked in once the handle had been delivered that they had fitted the tap. Thanks for all the help and great customer service in the often dehumanised world of online shopping!

Will always use in future.

Business owners were fantastic. We arrived after they had closed, but they still accommodated us and advised us on what we required, and sold us the items for a lot less than we had budgeted for. Very pleasant couple. Will always use in future.

What an absolute legend the owner of B&S is. I always use selco and didn't know he was right next door, I needed some bath legs, just the threaded parts, I didn't know that nowhere did these separately over the counter, I was able to fit a bath that day after a nightmare situation beforehand. He went above and beyond and saved the day. He also followed up with me to see if they were the correct size and that everything went well. Thank you!

Competent, efficient & professional.

Competent, efficient & professional. Listened, made sense of my description of the problem (handle snapped off flushing mechanism for toilet), asked pertinent questions, and provided what was needed to put things right. Swiftly sorted and reasonably priced.

Very professional company

Just received my ceavit toilet seat and cover. I'm so happy. Didn't think I'd be able to find one seeing as how the toilets came directly from Turkey. Baker and Soars had one! It took a couple of weeks to get here to Ireland but they kept in touch with me and kept me informed of its whereabouts. Very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend Baker and Soars for all your plumbing needs

Spoke to a member of staff they asked for photos to assess the model of tap . Once they had received these they keep me informed on progress. Asking for more information when needed . They managed to locate the part informed me of the price . Part turned up the next day . Excellent service

won't shop for plumbing equitment anywhere else

After buying some plumbing equipment from Toolstation, hrs spent researching the parts, hra wasted trying to connect it all, then realising was missing parts which meant I couldn't finish.

I know won't go anywhere else for my plumbing equipment
