I don’t know what to do really. My dad is 86 but in fine health and mental capacity. He wants to turn his small bathroom into a wetroom, as he finds getting in the bath too much now. He has contacted a firm and a salesman came round and quoted @£9000 to do this. He also told Dad he’d need a deposit straight away, which Dad gave him. Over the weekend Dad rethought this and tried to cancel the contract really as he didn’t think it was exactly as he wanted, rather than price. The office said fine but then a couple of hours later the salesman phoned him and then turned up at his door.
He’s convinced Dad it’s all good and also convinced him to change his toilet (separate room) for an extra £1000 – total now just over £10,000.
Bathroom is size of a small house boxroom if you get my drift and for the £10,000 they are not even fully tiling the walls in the bathroom (just some of it) and not doing walls of toilet at all.
He did ask me what I thought but then got upset when I said I though it seemed too much and that for that price I would expect at least both rooms to be fully tiled so I don’t feel I comment again now. He’s happy to go ahead with it and it is his choice and his money. It’s certainly something he can afford.
I am just upset thinking that someone could go into my lovely Dads house and rip him off but AIBU and what would this usually cost? I don’t think he has chosen especially pricy fittings, etc.
Maybe I am being too protective of him. I am his only family as mum died 5 years ago and I’m an only child.
