What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Baker & Soars has built a strong reputation among customers in Leicester for supplying otherwise hard-to-find plumbing and bathroom spares, and the reviews consistently highlight the depth of stock held. More than one customer describes arriving after other suppliers had failed to help, only to find the exact cartridge, tap handle or hidden hinge part they needed.

Staff knowledge is a point that comes up often, with reviewers noting clear explanations of how components work and patient guidance on dimensions and fittings, including checks made after delivery to confirm everything suited. Communication is repeatedly praised, both over the phone and through messaging, and when a spare arrived with a missing seal, a replacement was dispatched without hesitation. Speed of dispatch and delivery is another recurring theme, with orders arriving within days. Reviewers also mention fair prices for the parts supplied.

Named members of staff are not singled out, but the team is described as polite, friendly and genuinely invested in solving problems, whether sourcing a discontinued diverter cartridge for a dripping shower or helping fit a replacement toilet seat. The willingness to repair rather than replace, even for obsolete fittings, runs through many accounts, and the merchant's advice is credited with saving customers the cost of a full replacement.

Ordered done spare from them, arrived very quickly, but with a missing seal. Quick phone call and a replacement was in the post. Very happy with their service.

We needed a replacement tap handle but were struggling to find a replacment. The tap was purchased 6 years ago from a different supplier. These guys were great and helped check the dimentions and fittings over whatsapp so that the replacment fitted when it arrived. They even checked in once the handle had been delivered that they had fitted the tap. Thanks for all the help and great customer service in the often dehumanised world of online shopping!

Nipped in to see if he had a large hose tap connector but he didn’t have one but he went out the back and came back with an alternative solution and when I tried it at home with a little jiggery pokery it worked! So thanks again and keep up the good work.

Great supplier of plumbing parts! Friendly, good prices. A good “traditional” supplier who is willing to take time with customers, understand needs and offer an excellent range of products. The kind of place we will all be the poorer for if it wasn’t there and we only had the national plumbing suppliers.

Thank you to the staff at Baker and Soars who saved us from buying a whole replacement toilet by sourcing a replacement hidden hinge part. Thanks so much, we will definitely come to you first next time.

I ordered a Bathtap cartridge on 6th May it arrived on 8th May. All communications with their staff was first class and I will recommend this company without hesitation. Thanks.

Incredibly helpful! My partner and I had been struggling to replace a diverter valve for our shower and after months of anxiety and countless emails with Divapor (who, after I returned 2 valves that looked like the right ones on their website but were different when delivered, informed me they were unable to help.) We were then quoted over £1,000 to remove tiles and replace the whole plumbing behind the wall. After more research I found Baker and Soars and saw that they sell the same brand as my shower, I made a quick call and they promptly confirmed they had the part! The gentleman on the phone informed me that if I paid before 2pm he would be able to take it to the post office on the same day. The parcel arrived a couple of days later despite the Bank Holiday (it was shipped with 24h tracked delivery). We were able to fit it ourselves and it worked perfectly. I really can't thank them enough and would highly recommend!
