Croydex Avis 

Two careful adults and no kids in our house but we've had 3 Croydex soft close seats in 2 1/2 years in our en suite.
These highly recommended seats just don't seem up to the job. The soft close just fails in all too short a time.
Won't be buying Croydex again.

It has now been over three weeks since I posted a review about Croydex toilet seats and also sent an email to them direct but still no reply so toilet seat is useless and I have had to buy another one. I would not touch them.

Shame I can't give zero stars really. 14 weeks to get an answer that they can't supply a magnetic hinge replacement and that I have to return the cabinet to the retailer for a refund - a cabinet that is mounted on a tiled wall so holes drilled through the tiles. When you're on hold you're told by an automated voice how excellent their products and services are - my experience is far from this - avoid their products at all cost.

Bought a quick release toilet seat , totally failed to lock after 3 months . Rubbish design and build quality . Thankfully Better Bathrooms refunded me in full . Croydex didn’t want to know! Just read the reviews here. Over priced rubbish and poor customer service .

I am just about to return a Croydex bathroom cabinet to Screwfix for a refund. The flat-pack item arrived in fairly good condition except for some marks on the mirrored doors. These cleaned off but shouldn't have been there in the first place. The packing was quite neat though - but packing isn't what you're paying for I suppose. Still, it was a work of art and it's just a pity this attention to detail wasn't reflected in the product itself.

Anyway, the real problem was the crude, push-fit hinges that couldn't be adjusted to get a straight shut-line on the doors. The doors were significantly misaligned and as a result looked odd. Other reviewers have also found this to be a problem for which there is no realistic solution. The frame cannot be adjusted to help align the shut lines.

And so as I've said I'll be returning the item for a refund. I hadn't heard of the name Croydex before now and after this unfortunate introduction will not buy one of their products again.

Really, I don't think Screwfix should stock an inferior quality product such as this.

DONT BUY!!!Terrible product ...no tension whatsoever and sticky pads just fell off the wall.
THIS IS THE WORST PRODUCT I HAVE EVER PURCHASED...£20!!
Croydex should be embarrassed to be selling this product and certainly won’t purchase any other of their products

Shower curtain rod: It is hard to assemble and doesn't work.

Purchased a seat from Amazon, Ordered this item on November the 1st and arrived promptly but unfortunately two of the seat pads had been fitted incorrectly and were damaged. I contacted the manufacturer thinking if I return a toilet seat it will be scrapped due to lack of microbiological integrity so requested the part sending pictures of both the seat and the damaged part. 8 emails later and two phone calls despite promises of delivery 3/5 working days and secondly next day delivery still no part and a toilet seat that can’t be used without risking damage. The product itself seems good quality despite the assembly issue, however the customer service support is appalling. I have no option now but to return a seat only for it to be destined for the skip. Trying to do the right thing and avoid unnecessary waste sometimes is just so frustrating.
UPDATE 1st Dec

Surprise surprise still waiting for parts to arrive

Absolutely rubbish quality of build, QD bracket would not release when screw down to pan, only released when unscrewed from toilet, no matter how tight I tightened it down, it still slipped, nightmare to fit, far too complicated, in the end, ordered another Wickes soft close, straight forward 2 mins to fit, doesn't slip, cheaper, looks the same, not Quick Detach, but neither was this one it seems.... Don't waste your money. Nicer seats for less money on the market. Bought from a seller on eBay, label fitted by Croydex stated item could not be returned for hygiene reasons, great excuse to churn out rubbish products... I think you'll find Consumer Rights will turn that statement into hogwash... Make items that work, and are easy to install, and you won't need to put stupid stickers on the package..

Appalling problems installing this; extremely poor response to complaints.
My first email to them took them 16 days to answer; the second, 5 weeks ago they haven't bothered to respond to.

Essentially, the instructions are poor & misleading. I do not understand why:

1. On page 2 of the manual, you show the items supplied, labelled from A to H
2. Having labelled the items, you never reference them again
3. Page 3 diagram 1 show item C as attached to item B, and place on toilet seat. Why, what do you gain as you need the screws through the toilet seat to adjust correctly.
4. Diagram 4 says take off protective cover (why not also say item C) & this misled me. I though you meant the film.
5. Page 6 diagram 14 shows the screws being tightened, but there is no indication as to how much.

I trained as a technical writer & I found this manual confusing, lacking in clarity & short on necessary detail.
It’s OK as an aide memoir if you’ve installed these before; not ideal if you haven’t

As stated, this is now working but still has a small tendency to move.
I have tightened the screws as much as I dare, but I’m worried I will break something if I tighten too much.

The installation experience was fraught & unsatisfactory, as it isn’t entirely right even now.

Bought a 3 tier CYOYDEX shower caddy from homebase with a 5 year rust free warrany, after 18 months its completely rusty !
Complaint to Croydex who agreed ro send a replacement which never arrived, nightmare company to contact everything takes forever. 5 year rust free warranty is a joke.
Over 4 months later i received a replacement ....... not sure if it will rust or not but fair dues........

Sent 2 hrs. trying to fit the telescopic shower rail. What a nightmare! The screw at one end does not tighten at all ! Terrible design

Bought a Croydex plastic toilet seat from Wilco, after 4 attempts to fit it gave up its going back, very poor fitting design as you tighten the screws the other end of the fixing turns which detaches it from the seat, difficult to explain but save your money dont buy.

Croydex Rutland Toilet seat. We bought one of these. A decision I bitterly regret. Easy and always fits it said. Well they DON'T.
Fitting it was anything but easy. Very poorly designed fixing to the bowl. Slots in the plastic fitting are too narrow so didn't allow any free movement to properly locate the seat on the pan.
It's on now but I shall put in the skip when a replacement is obtained. Expensive waste of money.
DON'T BUY THIS SEAT.

Purchased a Croydex Eyre flex fit toilet seat several months ago as I believed they made quality products. The seat fitted fine and I’ve no issues with that. My issue is with the plastic buffers, (below the seat and lid) that I’ve already contacted the company about once and received replacements. They don’t last and the plastic of the seat pushes through them leaving you with a shredded plastic ring that doesn’t support the seat. Maybe just a product issue as better ones could surely be used/made/issued as replacements. Will make me think twice about buying another Croydex toilet seat.

Excellent customer service.
Purchased a bath panel 3 years ago and the removable panels had become faulty (magnetic part didn't work and it had started to bubble).
A quick email to Croydex and they replaced the full panel without any quibble and free of charge. It arrived without 24 hours.

I recently needed a spare part for a Croydex product and after enquiring by email it was delivered promptly, free of charge - no questions asked.

I would rather not have had to replace the part in the first place, hence 4 stars and not 5 - however their genuinely helpful customer service I felt deserved credit, especially as the item being serviced was not purchased recently.

Arrived home to one of the toilet seats that fits all. Told there is a video. That started the worry. When it gave the tip, this told me I needed more than two hands. I was right. Then it says when you position it. REMEMBER THAT POSITION.It was hidden underneath. I do remember the position that I was in, Shagged. Anyway I enjoy a challenge and managed to get it fixed but we will wait and pee sorry see.

I bought a wooden toilet seat about 6/8 months ago. I read the reviews but decided that although the seats didn't get a great review, I would buy one anyway. Fitting was relatively simple but as a qualified engineer, I still contacted the company as I thought that the fittings were weak and not fit for purpose. I have been proven correct. The double sided tape is of poor quality, the threaded bolts do not fit the weak plastic footing plate, as I pointed out to Croydex, and now, 6 to 8 months later, the seat is loose with no way of tightening it.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR HARD EARNED CASH, DO NOT BUY.

Ive bought a number of there products and allways been happy with the quality i recently bought a white abs corner unit from a seller on ebay the unit arrived minus the fittings pack so i contacted croydex & within a week the fittings arrived The only thing to rival there products is there customer service team a big Thank You CROYDEX...
