My friend has had a quote to replace her exisitng suite and to add a shower cubicle from Dolphin Bathrooms.

Guess how much she was quoted?

£2000? ( I have no idea and am totally guessing!)

Ceolas · 23/02/2007 12:19

£12,000

I'd say about £20,000 - they are chuffing expensive!

lurkylou · 23/02/2007 12:21

£100,000???????????

Was the quote from Dolphin directly or an independant builder?

SecondhandRose · 23/02/2007 12:23

They have quoted her £44k can you believe??? They said the shower cubicle was 12K!. Are they having a laugh, do they actually get business off those adverts. Anyway when my friend and her DH laughed at the quote they cut it to 25k just like that!

My friend's DH showed them the door.

That is proposterous!

You could build an extension to your house including a fitted bathroom for that amount!

My dh is a builder and i told him - he thought it was some kind of joke. seriously tell your friend to find a friendly local builder who will do the job for a fraction of the price.

Avoid MOBEN/DOLPHIN
not only are they excesive cost wise, their service is APPALLING
google them

Nip · 23/02/2007 12:32

OH MY!!!

Says a lot if they can drop down to £25k

I remember reading in a newspaper consumer column about Dolphin customers having lots of complaints with the company.
Just get a few local plumbers/builders to give quotes.

i saw a bloke with a sandwich board outside one and it said basically 'dolphin are shit they ruined my life'!
