Replace single broken plate

Feb 19, 2013 11 Replies

Was replacing tenant's fuse - opened cupboard, bottle fell out, dropped on a plate and smashed it. Bggr. Ok, I'll replace the broken plate. It's one from a set of 24

Does anybody know if there are any suppliers of single replacements? £25 is ok for a full set, it's just we'll end up with 2+7/8th of a set.

Sorry just realised it's a US site.

Bottle fell out of the meter cupboard. Fell on to a plate. DHSS ?

Just smash one of every other piece to make a new matching set.

IIRC there are a few places around which do that sort of thing; but really only for the high-value dinner services etc, not a relatively cheap Argos set.

Possible options: (1) ebay?

- oops just ended; but looks unsold? If that's not the right one you'd probably have to keep looking for a while; maybe set up a search email - and I expect you need to replace it now?

(2) which would probably be my preferred option - negotiate a value for the missing plate that the tenant's happy with (which will be some way less than £25 I'd hope), and just pay them cash - win-win.

- excellent service and surprisingly inexpensive. I am not sure how wide a range he covers but it may be worth a look at his store.

It makes no difference if they prefer anal sex. He still broke their plate.

That "we'll" in the last sentence is confusing me. Who will end up with an odd set? Is it your plate or their plate?

If it's their set, why not just give them the £25 and let them decide whether to replace it or not?

If it's your set then you have a number of choices. Ammend the inventory to show one less plate; buy a new set which may or may not match the old set; buy a new plate which may or may not match the old plate; point out clause 221b, subparagraph b122 in four point type at the end of the landlord's contract which clearly states cupboards should not be used for storing bottles and send them an invoice for £2573.66 compensation. (Said figure being clearly stated in two point type in clause 493r/8015970 of the same)

That will be a bottle of Hendersons Relish.

Or take standard insurance line - items are replaced at individual value not as part of a set.
