Carron Bathrooms

Good quality baths, I tend to fit the standard carron baths, as opposed to the carronite, mainly because I only install domestic.
But….
Today I've been fitting a shower bath.
Couple of issues.
The panel requires a 541mm gap from floor to lip of the rim, the feet fully extended are extremely precarious, so I've had to put it onto wooden blocks.
The rim is only just thick enough to mount the bath filler, especially if you have a 12mm wall tile, I may have to remove the tap for the tiler to tile, then remove the base collars and refit the tap.
The rim on the adjacent wall is much wider, but… ask any (decent) plumber if he'd mount taps in a place that is inaccessible once the bath is fitted, and the answer (should be) no.
In summary….. standard baths, great, good quality, good design.

Shower bath, good quality, poor design, I certainly wont be fitting one again !

Contacted Lynn (Customer Services Mgr) regarding some perished handles on our 12 year old Carronite bath and where we could get some new ones. Lynn answered my email within hours and sent out some new ones free of charge. Superb service.

I bought a Carronite profile bathtub via my bathroom supplier and it's exceptionally sturdy and well made. Great product!

Phoned technical three times got answerphone twice got through on third attempt.
Gentleman very non helpful said line was for professional installers only.
Installation instructions are more in keeping for a cheap bath, as with scrap of paper for hand grip fitting.
This response as made me think twice before we buy another bath on our move to another house later in year with a none helpful technical department

Bought a Carron Status bath from a Carron supplier. I kept it shrouded in the plastic until it was time install it. On removing the plastic there was a 3cm scar at least 1mm deep in places close to the waste hole. It is not a scratch or a chip. In my opinion it is manufacturing problem and should have been picked up by quality control but Carron have said it is impossible and to rub it with Brasso! They maintain the picture is not very clear but didn鈥檛 bother to ask for another one. If, as they say, it was damaged in storage or transport how come the plastic covering it was still intact and all sealed. There were no fragments evident from any damage in the packaging. Unfortunately I am at fault for not completely unpacking it upon arrival and checking within 48hours. As there was no visible damage to the package I assumed it was all good.

I contacted the company at their main office with a technical query. I received blilliant help and advice from John and Dave who both "went the extra mile" to sort out my problem.
I will definitely be buying one of their baths.

Fantastic company to deal with, excellent products and customer service is second to none.

Love love love my new Carron Profile bath, what a bath should be, luxourisly deep and wide and fits in the space 1700mm x 700mm where my old bath was ( more a glorified sink lol). Could soak all day, and not a stupid price at under 拢230. Purchased from Rubberduck Bathrooms
