Tecaz is the largest independent bathroom and kitchen company in the North East, having 3 vast bathroom and kitchen showrooms situated in North Shields, Sunderland and Stockton. Each premises shows all the latest designs in bathing, showering and kitchens, in either contemporary or Classical styling. The Tecaz name has been well known for 40 years in the Newcastle and Sunderland area from it’s origination in Boldon. The first properly dedicated bathroom and kitchen megastore opened in North Shields, Newcastle in 1985. After North Shields, a showroom in Ryhope was opened in 1999 in a 26,000 square foot former Co-Op superstore and not long afterward a 32,000 square foot Cash and Carry building was purchased in Stockton. All had the emphasis on the broadest range and best prices combined with quality. Pennywell overhead web image When the opportunity to purchase the ex-Sunderland Echo building in Pennywell Industrial Estate, Sunderland, close to the A19 was identified, it became obvious that this was a worthy successor to the Ryhope premises, therefore in May 2015 this site was acquired. Due to our huge floorspace we have a massive area across our 3 showrooms, displaying a huge number of brands, and products displayed, so you can see and feel the products. At Tecaz we showcase 150 bath and shower rooms, and more than 40 kitchens room settings, from over 25 leading manufacturers, at each shop. With a team of designers available to offer advice and free computer planning, and installation support on larger projects you are sure to achieve your dream bathroom or kitchen. With emphasis on innovative planning being a major consideration for any bathroom or kitchen project, the free computer aided design with the added peace of mind of a free service of survey before installation means that your dream can be translated into reality with the minimum of disruption. We also offer FREE granite worktops on selected rigid built kitchen ranges.

Saw Lisa, she sorted us out for a small, compact bathroom, she knew exactly what we were looking for - all ordered and straight forward- brilliant

Just had a new main bathroom and en-suite fitted over the last two weeks. Assistance with the design in the North Shields showroom from Elaine was impeccable. The fitting was carried out by Fine Fit bathrooms. We can’t thank Phil, Henry and the rest of the team enough. They worked so hard and we could’nt be happier with the end results. Their work is outstanding and they are a pleasure to have around. Never known tradesmen to keep everything so clean and tidy. Very happy customers.

Good and helpful bathroom designer, a credit to the company. Unfortunately wish I had reviewed the comments made from previous customers but I can only blame myself. No need to add my reference and no need for any response from the company as my business has been concluded.
Further following Tecaz response:
I did not want to expand on our interaction on this but your response makes reference to content in the emails which I was strongly advised were private. Also you have disclosed specific detail of my circumstances which isn’t too reassuring.
My rating would have been higher but the email thread between us was not the best customer friendly experience and is in-keeping with other negative reviews but as you stated you service many customers and receive a high percentage of positive reviews.
I would suggest one week delay on an integral part of the bathroom is not minimal but as you highlighted at least I was on holiday so was lucky to have access to bathroom facilities, that was not well received by the wife. I have also never made reference to being charged by the fitter for the replacement shower screen.
To expand on the rating
Initial contact and designer :- very good and knowledgeable. Spent time with us which was much appreciated and even delivered the delayed shower tray to my address. 5 + star rating.
Customer Services :- needless to say this interaction has brought my rating to
2. Good lengthy emails which were entertaining to read.
Overall, on reflection maybe could have awarded a three but my wife would have probably left me!
I hope I do not have to add any further details to this rating and the matter is concluded.

Customer service is appalling.
Rude and do not want to know.
I can attach my plethora of emails and photographs to prove my complaint, if needed.
Leng from portrack lane sold me the bathroom. I have 100% positive feedback for him.
Only after they take your money you are then hit with the terms and conditions which only work in Tecaz house favour.
I have a fault on the handle of my bathroom vanity unit but unfortunately no one will take responsibility for it.
I will definitely never return to them and neither will I recommend them.
So the handle on the vanity unit hits you in the face as soon as you enter the bathroom spoiling the bathroom.
I will be going to social media and trading standards with this issue.

This is the 2nd bathroom purchased. I was assured the problems experienced 1st time around some years back would not repeat. I spent £4000+ on the bathroom fittings and the same on installation. Take your money and run. After sales/Customer service is deplorable and down right rude. Inferior products failing within the year of purchase includes bath taps, shower tray and at the beginning faulted ceiling panels which they refused to take responsibility for stating I should have inspected each individually on receipt (nothing to do with their own quality control!!) so as not to hold up the fitters I had to inspect at store and purchase a 2nd time. I should have learned from my first painful experience when their fitters tiled AROUND the bathroom furnishings. DONT USE. I believe they now refer you to fitters but take no responsibility for their work. I used a professional Co. this time to fit, they did a great job. Unfortunately the quality of goods has severely let me down.

We dealt with Lisa from the Portrack branch and she could not have been any more helpful when we told her we had a budget. This lovely lady was very knowledgeable about everything in the store and we got everything we needed at a totally acceptable price, one very happy customer.

Overall an excellent experience, from start to finish. Lisa was exceptional with extensive knowledge of all the products, helpful and friendly. Would not hesitate to recommend and use again. Greatly appreciated, thank you.

Appalling customer service throughout the North Shields branch after purchasing a large order. Manager refusing to co-operate or to allow such to be escalated higher. As customers we feel bribed by errors on their behalf. A like to previous reviews the manager is extremely rude and patronising, not how you would expect to treat an individual never mind a customer. Would not recommend to anyone.

Apart from having to wait 2 weeks for a shower tray, everything else from the service & knowledgeable staff to actually buying our shower doors was perfect, even helping getting our purchases into our car. There was plenty of stock to look at, which made it a lot easier to
choose exactly what we wanted. We would recommend Tecaz.

Customer service from Shirley was absolutely outstanding. Her knowledge of products was brilliant and talked me through the whole process of designing my kitchen and bathroom. Would recommend tecaz to absolutely everyone!!

Lots of issues..
Purchased the bathroom suite and had it delivered.
The plumber arrived and unpacked it.
Shower tray was damaged, 1st visit to exchange it...
They supplied the wrong shower screen, 2nd visit to exchange that..
The sink cabinet didn't do together correctly so had to be adapted.
I finally had it all fitted..
Within 10 months the shower failed. A new part was sent by the manufacturer which I had to pay to have fitted!
Again 10 months later the same part has failed. I called tecaz and was told the assistant would look into it. I then had to call again to chase this up. This was referred to the manufacturer again. Who supplied another part ... Again at a cost to me.
I asked the sales assistant if I could have a replacement shower as this was the 2nd problem on the same part! Was told no.
This part was fitted and within a week it's failing yet again.
I have no option than to buy a new shower (certainly not for Tecaz).
Customer care is shocking and their attitude is disgusting...
Will never use them again

Tecaz have a great selection of bathroom products when I needed to buy 3 bathrooms Elaine was amazing! She has a huge knowledge of products and an eye for great bathroom design. She helped me choose fabulous bathroom items to create stylish and functional bathrooms and was able to advise at every stage
She also helped sort delivery out and made the whole process very easy.
The delivery process was good and the 2 delivery guys were also great.

Visited Tecaz today and received really good customer service. My husband and I wanted to buy a bathroom suite and were helped by Harry. He was really knowledgeable about the products and made some excellent suggestions which really helped with our purchase. He really helpful, in fact my husband and I both commented that it was a long time since we’d had such good customer service. Would definitely recommend Tecaz on today’s experience.

Excellent service and advice from Lisa who helped me with excellent advice, as I am a disabled customer who has specific equipment requirements to aid my washing/showering. Lisa spent time in helping me find the right equipment to meet my needs. Her knowledge and experience was excellent, thanks Lisa for all the time spent giving us good guidance.

Very happy with my service, Barry was very friendly and professional and helped me pick out the perfect bathroom accessories!! :)

We have used Tecaz Stockton several times over the years and we always get the best help and advice on the products that we are interested in from Lisa, she is very knowledgeable and patient when we are deciding on the wide range of choice they have and she never rushes or pressurises you, she is a credit to this store!

The WORST customer service ever received from the Customer Service Manager at North Shields. Extremely rude and patronising in emails and over the phone. Have used this company a few times over the years and unfortunately would now never use again due to this one individual.
Don’t expect a replacement if anything is faulty… even if you are still in warranty.
I’m sure there will be a rude, patronising and incorrect response on here after reading how he responds to other negative reviews.
Tecaz needs to look into this individuals professional conduct and how paying customers are spoken to if there is a genuine issue.
