    Status:
    Answered
    To whom it may concern,On January 6, 2022 I purchased a wall surround with corner shelf from BathFitters. Bathfitters sales consultant *********************** was here at my home twice to collect payments before the work was even done. I called and tried to tell him about the issues I was having with his company. ***************************** wanted to know what my problem was now! This guy is a nasty person. I hung up on him. The job was completed on January 19, 2022.February 2022-Faucet started leaking down the wall surround after the tub faucet was re-installed. I was afraid it was leaking behind the wall, but it wasnt. I ordered a new **** faucet (after those workers tried to make another one work). It took a long time to get here. Im covered under Nicor Home Solutions program, who are licensed plumbers. I have had Nicor Home Solutions for twenty years. BathFitters never installed wall surround to top of ceiling or put it in every corner because they couldnt reach the top of the ceiling. I tipped those workers because they kept complaining about money and not being paid. Now all the wall surround is coming off of the walls. I have a one-year lifetime limited product warranty on the wall. Im demanding Bathfitters send an ******** person that can do the work correctly. They arent nasty to paying customers ever!For all this baloney Im demanding to be compensated in the following ways:Written apology for poor work and poor customer service Ive received and paid for!Replacement of vinyl tub cover Sending pictures of wall surround falling off wall I turned Bathfitters in to Attorney General in August 2022.I have received the following estimates from different companies to repair/redo this work:NWI $9,779.00 ********** $9,300.00 Bath Planet refused to give me a quote to repair/redo this job because they told me Bath ************* Fitter work together. I had a previous positive experience with BathFitter in ******** in 2015, which is why I hired them

    How this company stays in business is beyond me. They do not complete the job and put you through a lot of inconvience. We purchased the shower May 5 th., 2021 and started July 1 st. to workon project. Called July 6 th. to let them know the shower door leaked. Came out to fix July 14 th. and could not fix then came back July 16 th. and said that a part needed to be ordered. A different person came out July 18 th. and said ***** would order the part.. Sept 14 th. the part came in and they sent a ******* to put the glass slide on the bottom of the door. During this time I was told to only use three walls and not to get water on glass door and that would stop the leak. I payed for all four sides to work and to this day still feel that they should. i don't like the fact that the shower still leaks. I see no use in them coming back, I feel that they are unable to do the job correctly. I will go to Menards and see if """ I """ can find a way to fix the problem. Please think long and hard before you hire Bath Fitter.
