\"Techno<\/p>\n

Hmmm… I know what you are thinking.<\/p>\n

That’s a nice, high quality, minimal looking shower fitting, bet that ain’t cheap.\u00a0 Well it wasn’t cheap but don’t be deceived by it’s sleek understated good looks and beautifully engineered knurled height adjustment knob, like I was.<\/p>\n

The other day I contacted Bathstore<\/a>, who supplied me with this Techno 65 shower kit<\/a> just over two years ago, in search of a replacement shower head bracket. It is the small plastic fitting that attaches to the slidy bit that moves up and down the rail and mine had broken through normal wear and tear.<\/p>\n

It is only a small, easily removed and I would imagine, relatively cheap piece of chromed plastic that you would think would be readily available as a spare part. Well apparently not.<\/p>\n

I received this reply from Bathstore<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“Good Afternoon.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, I am unable to offer much help with your query. The item
\nyou have broken is not available as a spare part. If the item is still
\nwithin its 12 month warranty period, then the store would have to
\nreplace it for you.<\/p>\n

Sorry I could not offer more constructive advice.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well unfortunately the item is out of guarantee, apparently leaving me to have to fork out for a completely new showerhead rail kit complete with showerhead and hose.<\/p>\n

Needless to say I won’t be going back to Bathstore<\/a> to buy one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
