8 Fitting replacement shower
Posted 5 days ago
Job carried out efficiently and well. Good demonstration.Verified reviewerJob location: PO510 Emergency leakage call out and bathroom sink replacement
Posted 26 April
This is the third time I've used Brett and this review is for an emergency call out and a bathroom sink replacement. For the near midnight call out - a loose kitchen tap which was leaking a lot of water under the sink into the kitchen cabinet , Brett arrived very quickly. He checked everything, tightened the tap, made adjustments etc. For the bathroom sink replacement a few days later, Brett and his colleague installed a vanity unit in a tight corner, replaced the tile splashback and fitted a new toilet seat. Very happy with the work, professional, tidy, good communication. Would recommend.Verified reviewerJob location: PO57.67 Kitchen drain blockage

He was very busy and had to mentor his colleague. However the end result was a reasonably priced successful result. Trustworthy and a very professional and nice guy who we would recommend to all. He knows his job.Verified reviewerJob location: PO410 Replacement of a kitchen tap

We needed a replacement for our 16 year old kitchen mixer tap. We managed to source one ourselves. Brett came along and fitted the new one for us. He did an excellent job. He was very tidy in doing the job as well. Will use him again for any plumbing work we need done.Verified reviewerJob location: PO162.67 2 part bathroom fitting
Posted 30 March
It is with deep regret that I am making this negative review on my bathroom vanity unit fitting. The 1st fixing inc the WC went well last year. The 2nd fixing inc the wash basin had to be booked in. With both our diaries busy & a few txts, the 2nd stage was booked in for the 14th March. I confirmed all was really for that date, Brett did show, call or msg or never has got in touch since. Hence this review. To say the least I am very disappointed & bewildered to say the least.Verified reviewerJob location: PO21Response from Bretts-Plumbing.com
Wow, is this the new way to re-book a missed appointment, I’ve been extremely bizy of late with holiday & trip up north to visit parents. This isn’t an excuse I will contact you when I’m back in the office tomorrow to see if we can schedule in phase 2..
10 kitchen tap replacement
Posted 26 March
At 10pm the kitchen tap broke off, so I put a request out for a plumber and Brett contacted me within a few minutes. A price was agreed and he would attend the next day and even collect the new tap (which I agreed on) on the way. On the day of the job he contacted me earlier in the day as he had a spot to get the job done sooner - I agreed and the tap was fitted within 10 minutes. Brilliant hassle free service and communication, and a good price. If you need a plumber, I definitely recommendVerified reviewerJob location: PO3

ALL PLUMBING & COMPLETE BATHROOMS - pipework work is undertaken; 1st and 2nd fix. - works can be carried out in 2 stages. 1st Fix - moving the bathroom pipework around, swapping the bath, basin, or toilet position requires a new layout of pipework prior to any tiling of the room. - this is called 1st fix. 2nd fix is the actual fitting and connecting pipes to new bathroom furniture and faucets.
Normally the tiler will tile the room between 1st & 2nd fix.
Shower boards.
Easy clean, no dirty grout marks, complete waterproof. THE ALTERNATIVE TO TILING but quicker to install…
MY PROMISE - My services might be varied but they all come with the same promise of quality, dedication, and durability.
The benefits to you in not having to source more than 1 tradesman on bigger projects and the job running smoothly and being completed in a timely manner.
I’ll only work with the best materials available, and I never compromise quality for time.
I strive for honest customer service, so contracts are only paid in full when the finished work is to the client's satisfaction as per the agreed works.
Plumbing is a different game; it's not like the electric going and getting the
candles out for the evening - I'd even go as far as saying it's enjoyable for 1
night by candle, but it's not the same
with Water if it goes wrong. That's why Bretts-plumbing.com
will do everything possible to get the
leak stopped and the water running.
We believe you can’t leave a
customer at the end of the working day without the basics & that's running
drinkable water.
NEW - Chipped Enamel or cracked acrylic bath repairs or acrylic shower tray repairs are also available.
COVID 19 - My safety is important - equally is yours. I do not expect you to wear a mask in your own home, I do expect space in return for my hands & face with disposable gloves and face mask.
It is paramount that I keep myself safe as well as you, I have, in addition, adopted a cleaning routine that involves cleaning the area after the work is complete with antibacterial cleaning spray (not hand gel) It's a little over the top bearing in mind I'm wearing thick disposable gloves throughout the work, but disposable gloves do tear sometimes and I need to be 110 % safe for You & me.
My work comes with a 12-month guarantee on workmanship. I'm insured, and an experienced plumber.
