Dulwich DIY... bill doesn't add up

Hi Dulwich DIY

This afternoon I bought:

Brasso 3.98

WD40 3.98

Vent 3.98

Paint brush 1.25

Doorsign 2.75

Blades for scraper 3.98

Wood filler 16.98


I make that 36.90. You have debited my card for ?61.84. I will be calling in tomorrow for a refund. You only gave me a debit card receipt, not a till receipt, so please make sure you keep the till receipt. Thank you.

Just a query - how come you didn't notice at the time? I usually have an approximate idea of a total of goods purchased when shopping - whether at a deli, supermarket or corner shop, certainly enough of an idea to notice a ?25 overcharge when it's presented.

I absolutely agree with ontheedge. It seems rather unreasonable (and spiteful!) to post this thread before you've even taken up the matter with the Dulwich DIY staff. I'm sure it was nothing more than an innocent error. If they reimburse your card tomorrow then you should make it clear on the forum so not to do any further damage to their business!


Every time I have been in that shop the staff have been nothing but friendly and helpful.

The overcharging is going to be refunded - the shop say I had been charged for the previous customer's purchases as well as my own purchases.


(Thank you for your PM DulwichFox with analysis of the sums and pointing out that it looked like I had been charged for three of the items twice.)

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
