SUMMARY
PLEASE INSPECT ALL PRODUCTS WITHIN 48 HOURS OF DELIVERY AND KEEP ALL PACKAGING SAFE AND IN GOOD CONDITION FOR 30 DAYS. DELIVERY DATES AND LEAD TIMES are given in good faith and may be subject to change on occasion due to circumstances beyond our control. We do advise customers to have orders delivered at least 5 days prior to your installer coming to fit the items. This gives ample time to check all items are present, correct and undamaged, whilst also allowing time for any unexpected delivery delays and allowing Bayou Bathrooms to rectify any problems.
DELIVERY – Standard delivery orders are ‘on property’ only and require an able-bodied person to receive the delivery and sign for the goods. The customer is responsible for accessibility to the delivery address and must report any access problems prior to delivery. A premium 2 Man White Glove delivery service is available for an additional cost and will deliver the goods to a room of your choice on ground floor level.
COLOUR MATCHProducts must be checked before installation. Colour matching is as exact as the manufacturing process and materials allow. Woods are natural and therefore will have grain and colour differences. Ceramics, acrylics, tiles and associated products have different characteristics and can appear slightly different to others in certain lighting conditions.
QUANTITY CALCULATIONS Bayou Bathrooms are not responsible for incorrect measurements and quantities calculated by yourself or your installer. Any quantity estimates provided by Bayou Bathrooms are given only as a guide and it is your responsibility to ensure final checks are made prior to installation.
