Great wee shop. Will definitely be back.

Just had my bathroom completed and my tiles are stunning! The lady with the sunglasses was really helpful and didn't mind me asking loads of questions. Also the guy who I think was called Danny lifted them all in the car for me. Would highly recommend paying them a visit as they have the best range in Hillington... and we did to loads of shops but kept coming back to Crocatile ☺️

Really disappointing service.

Really disappointing service.
We ordered & paid for tiles on Friday 17th Feb & were told they'd be in "Tuesday or Weds of next week" so we booked our tiler. No phone call from Crocatile. We had to phone eventually to chase, just before tiler was due, only to be told then that the tiles were out of stock. After SEVEN weeks, several phone calls from us and 2 further visits to the shop, we cut our losses and asked for a full refund. Then the guy in the shop had the extraordinary cheek to claim that they had kept us fully informed. No, you didn't!
Of course stock issues can occur, but communication is important - as is a proper apology when communication is lacking. Very disappointing.

Incorrect calculation of hex tile and a long delay in delivery

We purchased Hexagonal block white tiles from Crocatile earlier in the year. However the company had totally mis-sold the tile by applying the incorrect maths formula to work how how many tiles would be required to cover
1sqm. So whilst we believed we paid and ordered 11sqm they only delivered 8sqm. When I raised this with the salesman over the phone he told me that I was wrong and the label on the tile boxes was wrong. Crocatile were telling me 2 boxes (40tiles in total) covered 1 sqm. The label on the tile boxes said 1 box gave me "0.33 sqm coverage" therefore Crocatile were supplying 2 boxes for 1sqm instead of 3 boxes, which would have been the correct number.
I had to spend a lot of time doing the maths and write lengthy emails back to Crocatile to get them to understand and accept that there had been a huge error on their part. Once they accepted they agreed to deliver the 3sqm of tile they should have delivered to begin with only they didn't have my tile in stock so we had to wait. The staff did do their best to resolve issues, but we still had to chase our order for months. Brexit and a shortage of HGV drivers was given as an excuse for the delay. Eventually the tile was delivered, months after the order was placed. Crocatile had given us free delivery on this occasion but failed to acknowledge the massive inconvenience they caused us as the bathroom project was delayed by a significant number of months. No compensation or letter of apology offered.
I won't order from Crocatile ever again.

Worst company I've ever dealt with…

Worst company I've ever dealt with ordered tiles for myself and my mum hers were due to be delivered Fri 13th Aug and mine the 16th I phone when it turned 3pm and said she was not down for delivery after assuring them this was wrong as I had the paperwork in front of me they then assured me they would get them delivered an hour later they called to ask if it could be Monday morning we said yes as long its first thing as the plumber and tiler were arriving at 8am they said no problem 9.30am no show so contacted them to be told the driver was stuck in traffic and wood arrive soon 10.45 still no show called again and they spoke to the driver who had said he just arrived I then asked about my own delivery as I stay 5mins drive from my mums house they said they would get back to me 3pm I phoned and asked again about my delivery was assured it would turn up surprise surprise they never did no phone call no apology shop opened 9am the following day no contact from them so had enough drove in and requested a full refund which they did and even when I explained why still no apology. I will never use them again absolute shambles 😡ps got other tiles no problem and retail staff and delivery were fantastic 👏

Hi Jan,

First of all, we would like to apologise for the shopping experience you had with Crocatile. There is no excuses with what happened and we can only apologise profusely to you and your mum over the level of service that you received.

From our end, there should have been proper communication to you letting you know what was happening with your order and the delivery of it. The fact that we failed not only in communicating to you, as well as failing to deliver it is unacceptable.

The staff in question have been spoken to and have been made aware that going forward that such miscommunication, lack thereof, and failure to deliver is not acceptable and will not be tolerated.

Once again, I would like to apologise for the poor experience and service that you received.

Best Regards

Andy

Many thanks to the excellent delivery…

Many thanks to the excellent delivery driver who carried 17 boxes of 20mm Patio tiles from the truck to my garage . I was out when he arrived and it was no problem to him to do this for my wife where others just want to leave a pallet on the pavement. Crocatile you were great to deal with and excellent in your delivery.
Many thanks to your driver who sadly we did not get his name but a credit to your company. Gerry McAllister

Fantastic product and fantastic…

Fantastic product and fantastic service!! Super fast delivery and without a broken tile in sight, it was delivered from over 200 miles away. Great delivery driver too, he even gave my 3yr old son a couple of pounds for helping him! So sweet.....he received an ice lolly in return :)

Croc of rubbish

Paid for floor and wall tiles only to be told out of stock. Sent wrong replacement floor tiles, box of wall tiles broken. Crocatile refused point blank to replace or reimburse. Also failed to return phone calls and emails. Absolutely terrible - avoid like the plague.

Hi 'Hugh',

As mentioned to you in email this afternoon, your initial order was changed [after discussion with yourself] as the products you initially purchased were out of stock. The tiles that you then chose [and noted on our system] were subsequently delivered and we heard nothing else until just under a week or so later when you informed us that you received the wrong floor tiles - but your tiler fitted them anyway. The latter is not our responsibility and you should have taken this up with your tiler, unless you had instructed him to do just that.

If you had informed us of this issue upon receiving the goods then we would have had no problem sorting it out and sending you the tiles you said you ordered - despite our staff informing you at the time that they were out of stock and would take several weeks to be delivered from our suppliers. But rather than coming into the store or informing us via email or telephone that you received the wrong tiles, your tile installed them anyway and then looked for compensation or a refund on your order AFTER he had done so. Nullifying any claim as per our terms and conditions - which is clear on our website and on all of our order emails that you received. If there is an issue of compensation or a refund then it should be directed towards the tiler for installing the wrong tiles - if he did so off his own back.

At no time were your calls or emails ignored, when you actually reported the issue of the wrong tiles [on the 18th June] the response was within minutes of receiving it via email. You were advised that we would have to speak to the staff and owner over your claims of receiving the wrong order and demands for compensation or a refund. After a few days, you were given a response to your email highlighting the above.

If you had not installed the tiles you received, we would have certainly refunded your order upon return of the goods - as per our terms and conditions - as we have a 100 days return policy. But we cannot issue a refund on goods that are not returned to us, unless they are faulty or damaged with photographic evidence provided.

Best Regards

Andy

Great Service

We were on a tight timeline having booked the tiler and Crocatile checked there was enough of the mosaic tiles available that we’d chosen. Delivery driver was very polite and helpful.
