Renovator Store Comprehensive Warranty

Renovator Store is a specialist brand member of the Vanguard Design Group Pty Ltd, A.C.N.104 411 314 (we, us, our, Vanguard or Renovator Store). Purchasing a new Renovator Store product comes with this comprehensive warranty. Renovator Store can also supply some replacement parts for maintenance requirements.

Important: Floorboard and associated products are covered by a separate warranty from the supplier of these products.  See the full warranty here.

 

VANGUARD DESIGN GROUP RECOMMENDS:

  • You carefully inspect your new product(s) on receipt and before installation for any visible issues, 

  • Ensure the product(s) is stored carefully in its original packaging until installation,

  • For plumbing fixtures, ensure it is installed by a licensed plumber as this is a condition of its warranty,

  • For tapware, ensure the installing plumber flushes the water lines clean before installation so the mixer cartridge is not damaged by any debris in the water supply (as damage is not covered by its warranty). If your product requires maintenance or servicing please contact your plumber (preferably the installing plumber).  Most problems are caused by high pressure (500+ kPa) or contaminated water supply (such as foreign materials in the water lines).  Vanguard can supply replacement spare parts if the plumber requires them to service the tapware product. 

  • For mains-wired electrical products, ensure it is installed by a licensed electrician as this is a condition of its warranty. 

  • For Floorboard and associated products that you follow the preparation, installation, and care guidelines on this Website

  • That you follow the product's care instructions closely and contact Vanguard customer service if you have any maintenance or care enquiries or concerns.
