Plumbing dramas but kitchen finally finished

Today we had two tradespeople at the house to 'finish off' some jobs. First, the plumber came to fit the sink to the newly delivered vanity unit. However....we found that the mixer set had a bolt missing so he couldn't do it. We called the manufacturer (Dorf) who said it was a known issue and they would sent a fitter out with the part to fit it. So our plumber fixed the pipework ready for the bowl and taps sometime next week (?). He also came with the extensions to fit the bath taps and to replace the shower taps to match. I have to say I'm not happy though as he used these 'metal spacers' behind the shower taps and the bath spout which look disgusting. Also the shower is now dripping so we still need to get him back!

Next the handyman came and fitted handles to three doors, shelf and towel rail in the bathroom and a blind in the kitchen. So the latter is now complete, as a few weeks ago we had the dishwasher panel fitted and the missing handles on cupboards, as well as the vanity attached to the bathroom wall.
