Beautiful splash back and excellent service.

We chose the Antique Mirror splash back from Optidek through our kitchen designer and we are absolutely thrilled with it. Very impressed with the service from Optidek from start to finish. Fitters were very professional and friendly and the splash back looks amazing. Finishes the kitchen off beautifully.

Poor quality products and even poorer…

Poor quality products and even poorer service.

I had mirrored splash backs installed in my kitchen by Optidek. I was standing waiting for some bread to toast and there was a loud noise- the mirror cracked- it couldn’t take the small amount of heat the toaster was putting out. I felt the glass it was warm but not hot. Obviously it couldn’t take the small amount of resulting expansion. The toaster was not close because I have stone upstands and the toaster curves inward. The crack ( around 6 inches long) then traveled in both directions.

Needless to say Optidek refused to cover me in any way, not even a discounted rate for a replacement, even though there had been no mention nor warning at any point that this was a possibility.

I am now using a glass company who ONLY USE TOUGHENED glass for kitchens ( where the likelihood of a nearby heat source is high if not guaranteed).

Optidek were very expensive, totally unhelpful, and in my opinion use substandard products.

Be warned.

Hi,

Please accept our apologies on the delay in reply - we had contacted the company you had originally ordered your splashback through for comment but unfortunately have not had a response.

We do offer toughened mirror and have done so for many years, so should this have been specified it was something that we could have absolutely supplied for you. As you ordered your splashback through a third party provider, we are not privy to the design conversations being had or the reasoning behind the choice of material being selected.

In this instance, untoughened mirror was chosen as the product and subsequently ordered. At order stage we advised the company you had placed your order through of the risks with untoughened mirror cracking if exposed to things such as heat or knocks, and also provided our terms and conditions which states that if the mirror does crack it would not be covered under guarantee and replacements would be chargeable.

We can only assume by your negative review that this information was not passed onto you, which is extremely disappointing as we had done everything in our power to identify the risks associated with such a product and manage expectations from the offset. We have a duty of care to provide this information to clients of ours, and your third party then has a duty of care to provide you with the same information.

From the other reviews on our Trustpilot, it should assure you and prospective buyers that we are a small, close knit team who do everything we can to provide a professional, supportive customer service and an extremely high quality product.

In this instance, we would ask you to refer your comments to the third party you bought your splashback from. Of course where there is a downfall in our service or product we will do all we can to rectify it. However on this occasion, we outlined the possible risks and whilst we are sorry you had to go to the expense of a replacement, this should have been outlined to you by your kitchen provider from the very offset.

This review is therefore a reflection of your third party supplier, and not representative of the customer service of Optidek.

Amazing service!

Optidek recently installed an Aqua Splashback for one of our customers. They answered any questions from us quickly and efficiently, whilst always giving a high level of service. The feedback from the customer was outstanding. She loves her new glass splashback and also mentioned how great the templating and installation teams were. They were friendly, efficient, and completed the job quietly – which she really appreciated as she was on a work call during their visit.

Achieving an inspiring kitchen splash back

We have just completed replacing our kitchen. We have installed a modern kitchen in a very old building. That in its self was a scary option to choose. We used Opticolour Contemporary Glass Wall Coverings to supply the splash back. We contacted by phone and spoke to a young lady. The sales person took us through what could be achieved, there was no pressure to buy but encouragement to take time and think it through. We were recommended to search a well known company to find a design that suited us. Over whelmed by the amazing choice available. We were then put in touch with Red Dog Designs who also work with Opticolour. The result is amazing our kitchen looks fantastic. Opticolour put our chosen design into production. The guy that came to measure arrive on the day and at the time arranged, measured efficiently and accurately. The fitters also arrived at the arranged time worked with confidence and careful attention to detail.
The experience of working with Opticolour was genuinely a delight they showed that they cared about their product and had a pride in a job well done. Follow up was also a great experience, one feels that you are working with friends. The kitchen looks great! It was a pleasure to work with the company.

Beautiful Glass

We have had lots of different splashbacks from Opticolour and they always look amazing. The quality of the glass is really good and there is a colour choice for everyone. We have just had fitted a bronze mirror splashback in a dark green kitchen and it looks beautiful and finishes the kitchen perfectly. Highly recommended.

Superb after sales

I bought my kitchen 4 years ago from a company that has since gone under. They had subcontracted the glass splash backs to Opticolour. Their service at the time was excellent, but it’s their after sales service that has prompted me to write this review.
Greasy looking blobs and a crack in the paint at the back of the splash back started to appear - the first blob after 6 months but they appeared in earnest 4 years later. Opticolour were amazing. They said this was very unusual & that the paint hadn’t bonded properly & would get worse if left and said they’d replace the whole lot free of charge once they’d inspected it.
I now am the happy owner of a new splash back , refitted with great care and skill by Dez and team. Thank you so much to Sue in the office and the fitting guys. I can’t recommend you highly enough.

Absolute joy to work with! Highly Recommend!

I have personally worked with Opticolour now for over 10 years, and have always appreciated how good of a company they are! The service is always on point, the range of products are the best I've seen, and the turn-around time for installations has been spot on & quick every time - throughout my entire working relationship with them. Our Area Manager - Phillip Kemp - is an absolute delight to work with, alongside Paul & the rest of the Team. They are all very professional, they always get back to you, and Phillip has helped me out so many times in difficult situations, he's been a life saver. Overall they are a very pleasant and fantastic company to work with, and I would highly recommend any business to work with them, if you want a company you can rely on!
