Returns/Refund Policy

You can return any items within 14 days of receiving your order*. Exceeding this time may result in your claim being denied.

If you wish to return your items, there will be a 20% restocking and administration fee.

If you are returning your items in store, please bring your receipt or sales invoice with you as proof of purchase.

We are unable to offer a refund or exchange for any products that have been cut or used in any way, under any circumstances, or for products not returned in their original packaging.

Shower and wall panels should be treated as building materials and always need to be cut before installing to your walls. Sometimes they will have small defects or damage to the corners, edges, or the back of the panel. This is not a problem when installing our panels as this can be easily fixed by cutting 25mm from the end of the panels as they always need to be cut square before the panels are fixed to the walls, or by applying our cladding adhesive to small holes or cracks in the panels. If you are not sure about anything, we can give our expert advice before you install your panels.

If you would like to return any items, you will need to arrange for the products to be sent back to us, which will be chargeable to yourself. Once the products have been received back at our warehouse and checked over by quality control, you will be refunded minus a 20% handling fee.

When you have received your panel, before they are installed, you may want to cut at least 20mm from each end as they have been cut on a machine in the suppliers’ factory and might not be a straight cut or level with your floors and ceilings. If you are not sure what this means, you can contact our technical team, and they will help you with your questions or concerns.

Please note that we have a 14-day returns and refund policy for resolving any issues from the date of delivery.

*Our returns policy only refers to items that have been received in good condition. Please email support@panelworld.co.uk along with your name, order number, and reason for return or call us on 0121 269 4717.

We ask that all goods are checked over before signing receipt from the courier and please sign the delivery note as damaged if there is any sign of damage on the packaging.

No claims can be made, or replacement items requested if the product has been cut, used, or installed, or if the product is not returned in its original packaging.

If the product has been damaged in transit or is faulty, firstly please email us photographic evidence of the damages and what the products were and how many were damaged or faulty along with your order number. No claims can be processed without all of the information and photographic evidence requested.

Failed Deliveries

If a failed delivery results in the cancellation of your order instead of an arranged re-delivery, your order will be refunded minus a carriage fee of £29.99 to cover the cost of the initial delivery.

Important Information

Batch Numbers

Our products are manufactured in batches which means there may be slight variations in color/shade between each batch. Due to the high turnover in stock at our warehouse, we cannot guarantee to match batches between different orders. Please ensure you order a sufficient number of panels to complete your installation. If you require an exact match, please keep a note of the batch numbers that appear on your packaging so we can check availability and try our best to assist you.

UV Exposure

PVC panels must not be exposed to UV light; both direct and indirect sunlight. On receipt of your delivery, we recommend our panels are stored and cut indoors to avoid thermal distortion and/or discoloration.

Hiring Tradespeople

We strongly recommend that you do not book a fitter or tradesperson until you have received your delivery and are happy with your order. We cannot be held responsible for any third-party costs or charges incurred due to non-delivery of an order, or orders that have not been checked on delivery.

Delivery Timescales

While we always aim to deliver your order on time, please note that all timescales are estimates and occasionally deliveries can take longer than the timeframe quoted above due to external factors within the transportation and haulage industries. We cannot be held responsible for delays outside our control but we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and take any reasonable steps to minimize the inconvenience it may cause you.

In the very rare event that your order is not delivered within 30 days of the order date, you are entitled to ask for a refund or replacements to be sent out as per Distance Selling Laws.
