  I met with a consultant from **** Planet yesterday and decided to move forward with the project. The contract says that I have 3 days to cancel and I would like to move forward with canceling this contract.I tried reaching the consultant via phone and she does not have a voicemail that has been set up. I then received a call from someone who wanted to start scheduling the work when I told her I would no longer like to move forward and exercise the 3-day cancellation policy.She could not handle this request and that someone (***) would have to come to my home tomorrow to discuss it. This is just not acceptable. There were no managers available to speak with me as all of them were out with clients and no one was available to speak with **** followed up with an email and would like assistance on cancelling this contract,

  This company is harassing me. They are calling me numerous times a days and leaving me emails saying they have my loan ready and all I need to do is e-sign. I answered the phone today and I did not allow for them to speak to me because I told THEM the minute I picked, up to stop harassing me Im not interested and leave me alone and to take me off their list.. since then, theyve called me at least 5 times after I told them not to be bothering me.

  This business scheduled and help a consultation with my 80 year old mother alone and convinced her to sign a quote to redo a small shower only for over $17,800. I finally found out she was scheduled to get this done and it was past the date. I called to find out if we could still cancel because this is an outrageous amount of money they had her commit to for this work. They got nasty and told me that there was no cancellation and then when I pushed them about it they told me she can pay almost $5000 and hung up in my face. They never answered the phone again.This company is a scam, the contact info on the invoice sends you to a pillow sales company. They take advantage of seniors and have stolen her deposit and said she had to send more because she did not send a certified cancellation letter by mail in 3 days or drive an hour to turn in a written cancellation. Please help us get her refund and cancel.

  Have asked Bath Planet to stop calling my phone for months and while they occasionally take a break they eventually always call back.

  My husband and I had a meeting with bath planet yesterday at 11am to talk about installing a new shower. However we where a little unsure about it. We asked could we think about for a day or two because it was a big purchase. They were pressing us not to think about it because they said the price will change ect. They spent 4 hours at my house yesterday. However, they said I had three days to cancel also they ran my credit as well. Nevertheless, my hisband and I decided we didn't want to go with bath planet and we called them this morning trying to cancel and the lady that answered the phone states that no manager was there so We called back she said they are all in a meeting. At this point I'm on my way to ******* ** to cancel this project. I will not recommend this company. The salesmen are very pushy and manipulative and well tell you anything to get the sale.

  I am not happy with the response.  They are to attempt to fix the problem on 3/8 but refuse to install the correct tub and their solution to fixing the cracked tile is to put a trim over it.  We are not satisfied at all.

  As a customer, I urge anyone looking to work with Bath Planet to find another contractor or company to work with. They use very shady/predatory sales and business tactics, have low skilled, low craftsmanship subcontractors and product itself is cheap and of low quality.Sales process:* Price of project fluctuated rapidly as salesman better understood our budget. Started with a 30K+ quote and "he was able to find discounts" to lower cost down to 13K for us. Later was unable to itemize cost of individual items and work.* Lied to use about financing options. ******** asked if they financing was at 0% for 5 years as he stated, later come to find out that the 0% is only good for 2 years from the date you open the account, balloons to high interest after 24 months.* Sold custom glass solution to meet our needs, later to find out "custom glass" is anything not warehoused by *** Product given was a $500 ****** door but added 14K+ do our original quote.Installation Process: (some across multiple days where we had to take off work)* Install 1 - Driver left installer at our home until 1230am, installer did not speak english and unable to communicate with him. Power tools were being used in our driveway up until 11pm to cut walls and piping. Did not install correct unit.* Install 2/Fix - Replaced walls correctly but shower head not secured to wall.* Install 3 - Replace wall, shower head still not secured to wall and now wall is curved. Glass door does not reach ************** leaks onto floor. I reached out to advise we do not want any more of their contractors to work be in our home and ** offered us a measly $500 and then followed up with a $1200 credit (> 10% of project)At this point we will be paying ** over 11K$ for essentially a removal of our bath tub as the shower itself needs to be redone. If we don't repay by July of next year that cost will jump to over 24K due to the interest rate.Please do not work with Bath Planet.

  Complaint: 21297074
  
  I am rejecting this response because:
  
  I hardly consider our communication "reaching an agreement."
  
  Bath Planet offered a small refund of $1200, after months of back and forth with their servicing department. 
  
  I still find this amount to be unacceptable but better than nothing. This amount would not even cover for days of lost income. They were unable to itemize the cost of work completed. Since the shower is nearly unusable without leaking water into the bathroom, I consider any work outside of removing of my bathtub undone and would like to be refunded for the incompletion of the job.
  
  Sincerely,

  I am rejecting this response because: I just received a follow up email stating that i did not respond, which i did. I rejected the response from the company. However, this issue still remains unresolved and I am requesting a refund.
  This needs to be re-opened immediately and continued discussions on a refund from the company. I did not sign anything in regards to changing my contract to accept a reimbursement to my account.

  We were looking to get our tub replaced and Bath Planet came in to give us a quote. The salesperson was able to get us to change from doing only a tub replacement to replacing it with a shower only, walls, plumbing and doors. First off all their documentation say they get an A+ rating with the BBB and after this experience I noticed it's a B+. What was showed to us in the brochure for the doors was not what was received. I asked him to raise the shower head because both my kids are tall and I specifically said to him when he was measuring are you sure I'm not going to get any shower spray, he said no. They raised the shower head but now the doors look extremely short and my sons heads are over the doors. The salesperson also said we would receive a nice luxurious shower head with a handle. Their shower head was an $80 hand held shower head (that can be found at Home Depot)there is nothing luxurious about it. I should have figured something wouldn't go right when the first appointment they set was cancelled the morning of after I took a day off to install because of the cold. After complaining they did come install on a Saturday and the guys who installed did a great job. However, the ************** communication is lacking. I first emailed on the contact page about my complaint and never heard back. I called twice and was told the sales manager would get in touch with me that was over 3 days ago. They said when they texted me about their rating and I didn't rate them favorably they would reach out. I'm still waiting.

  I am rejecting this response because:  

  As talked about the cheating method of this company, l and maybe lot of other people are facing such frauds.

  When the salesman ***** from Bath Planet came to give me an estimate. 

  After seeing the bathroom  we sat down and he gave me an estimate of $ ********, then he came down to $ ********, then again down to 

  $ ********. I thought I got a nice deal from 

  $ ******** to $ ******** , l signed the agreement. After they installed it , l saw the material they used ( Fiberglass) , it is total fraud. 

  The same thing in ********** is less than

   $ 3000.00.

  This is the way this company cheats people. 

  I have been cheated by more than $ ********

  by this (Bath Planet) company. 

  I want at least $ ******** back from them, and they don't pay  please  Black list them.

  
  

  Thanks
