Avoid. No sample ever arrived and no replies to emails

I ordered a sample which I was happy to pay for, despite other suppliers offering free samples (my reference number was 85617). Nothing arrived for a few weeks. I had to chase them and eventually I was told that it was out of stock and they offered a refund or said that I could continue to wait. Months later no sample has arrived. I have emailed them a few times and even said that I would post my experience if I am continually ignored. Their prices look high and the customer service is non existent.

Steve did an excellent job for our delivery!

Steve did an excellent delivery job of our tiles. He was friendly and professional, and tried his best to zig zag through the driveway to get to the house. Highly appreciated! He left the item as close to the house as he could, which is very helpful. Excellent!

After several sample orders which all came very quickly we placed an order with Starel and the pencil trims we got were perfect! They look great in our bathroom. Also, when needing to amend our order, Starel were extremely helpful in getting this sorted. Would recommend!

AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE

AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE
Shocking lack of communication from Patrycja. Took ages to reply to a request for estimate, claimed to have sent a quote “slab proposal” (whatever that is - makes no sense in English!) which she didn’t, when pushed she said I “may” need one slab with no reference to the detailed designer drawings I had sent her and she didn’t even bother to attach an actual price as asked.

They only supply but don’t fabricate or fit - when pushed, Patrycja sent 3 names of people they work with but no contact details, obviously expecting me to do her work for her by trying to google them.

I cannot believe how awful and contemptuous this customer service is. I hate to criticise small businesses as I own one but this company doesn’t deserve to survive given the disrespect they show to potential customers. I cannot imagine how they might treat me if I bought from them and had a problem - given the other comments on here, it looks like they’re either a SCAM company or don’t process refunds which is illegal. Shame.

I note starel has posted a response which doesn’t address any of the issues raised.

The timing of the response was objectively long, it didn’t “feel” that way.

I sent detailed finalised technical drawings with measurements that every other company I approached managed to use to provide quotes and estimate of quantities. If starel cannot or will not use this information to give an estimate - not final price which I didn’t ask for - then that’s a huge flaw of their business model. To be told I “may need one slab” with no effort to give me a cost of how much one slab would be is shockingly unprofessional. Plus Pactrycja didn’t even provide a “slab proposal” even after saying they did!

Finally, Starel’s defensiveness sadly confirms my first impressions. No apologies for the awful service or the waste of my time. Hardly a constructive way of dealing with the issue. No thank you.

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback.

We’d like to clarify a few points to ensure there is no misunderstanding regarding our process.

We aim to respond to all quote requests within 48 working hours. However, we receive a very high volume of enquiries daily, and each request is carefully reviewed by our team. This can sometimes affect response times, particularly where additional technical review is required. We’re sorry if this timing felt longer in your case.

Regarding the “slab proposal,” this is an initial assessment based on the information supplied at the time of enquiry. It is not intended to be a final, fully itemised quotation unless all project details, measurements, and technical requirements have been confirmed. In many cases, further clarification is needed before a definitive quotation can be issued.

Please note that while fabrication can be offered in some cases depending on project scope, we also supply stone on a supply-only basis where installation and templating are not within our service offering. In these situations, we are able to suggest independent local fabricators where appropriate. The recommendations provided are based on previous successful supply experiences with these contractors and are offered purely as guidance. Ultimately, the choice of fabricator is entirely at the client’s discretion, and we are not responsible for the services, pricing, or outcomes of third-party contractors.

We welcome all feedback and are always happy to address concerns through clear and constructive communication.

Kind regards
Starel Team

Impossible to get in touch with anyone there. We tried to contact them many times before placing an order and it wasn’t possible to reach anyone. I’m now trying to arrange a refund for some items and again impossible to contact anyone. I have filled out an online form, emailed and completed a survey in an attempt to speak to them. Terrible customer service!

Amazing product with astonishing customer service

I spent days searching for the perfect marble skirtings for my bathroom, and when I finally discovered Starel, it felt like such a relief. Their online selection amazed me — so many beautiful options that I instantly knew I was in the right place. I placed my order straight away, but because our builders were still on site, we desperately needed the delivery sooner than expected.

Even though I had chosen standard delivery, I called the office hoping for help, and that’s when I spoke with Julia. She was incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely willing to understand my situation. She connected me with the manager, and together they arranged for my order to arrive the very next day. I can’t express how grateful I was — it truly saved us.

They also took the time to advise me on the right products to protect the marble, which made me feel even more supported. It’s rare these days to find a company where real people listen, care, and go the extra mile for their customers. Starel made me feel valued, not just like another order number.

Thank you for your exceptional service. I will absolutely return for future projects, and I’ll be recommending you to everyone I know.
