Jerac Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 HelloWe bought a wall mounted bath/shower tap from Lapeyre from their 'bargain basement' section.My OH checked it carefully & all seemed well.We fitted it,cutting holes in plasterboard etc,but when we turned on the water it leaked badly from the fitment.There is no way of mending it.When I checked the invoice it clearly stated 'produit declasse/nirepris/ni echange/vendu dans l'etat'.In Britain we would still be covered by the law that states something must be 'fit for purpose' even if sold as a bargain.Does this apply in France or must we write off our 129 euros to experience? We are quite happy to pay more if necessary to get a working tap as obviously this was a one off when we bought it.ThanksLiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcazar Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Can't help with your rights, the legal bit, but I'm intrigued in your statement that there's no way to repair it?I can't imagine a tap, sold at €129 as a bargain, being impossible to repair. What would owners who bought it full price do if it went faulty? Chuck it? I think not.If they won't replace it, take it elsewhere and see if the "guts" are available as spares. Alternatively, contact the manufacturer.Alcazar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
