Re: New Mondella mixer tap leaking

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @PHK. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about Mondella taps.

I'm sorry to hear you're having issues with your new tap. 

 

If water is leaking from the handle area on a new mixer tap, it's very likely that the tap is faulty. We'd be more than happy to help you with an exchange. You can either return the unit to your nearest store or, if you prefer, you can also contact Mondella directly for assistance under their warranty.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Mitchell,


Thank you for getting back to me, the issue I have is having to turn off the mains water for a long period, is it possible to go to the store and pick up a new one and then return the faulty unit the next day?

Unfortunately, in order for us to exchange the product, we'd need to return the original one @PHK. I do apologise and understand this causes inconvenience. If it's an issue, I would suggest contacting Mondella directly, as they may have alternative options for replacement.

 

The other option would be to speak with a manager in-store. You could purchase another one and then return the faulty one for a refund at a later date.

Thank you Mitchell,

 

Appreciate your help but that’s very disappointing considering I’ve already paid a plumber and spent thousands of dollars over the years.

Hi @PHK,

 

That's why I recommend reaching out to Mondella directly if you have issues returning a product at the store level. Often in cases where a plumber is required to return a faulty product, they will deal directly with you and, in some cases, arrange for their own in-house technician to attend the property.

 

If you'd like to discuss further, I can put you in touch with a store manager at the store of purchase. I'll reach out via private message for further details.
