Hello,
I hired a plumbing company to lay the pipes and then install the sanitary fixtures (toilet, washbasin, bathroom, etc.). We purchased the fixtures ourselves and agreed that the plumber would install them.
We ordered these online, and the plumber unpacked and installed them. During the final inspection, we noticed scratches that the plumber did not inform us about. He insists that he did not cause the damage.
We would like the plumbing company to replace them since they unpacked everything. Who is responsible for the liability in this case?

What about this regulation? Doesn’t it apply here?Even if it does, which I, like @nordanney, don’t really see: what defect is the contractor supposed to report here? Did you explicitly instruct them on the exact condition the goods must be in? Obviously, you never checked yourself. You could also have purchased particularly inexpensive second-quality goods.Besides the building code and general construction contract conditions, I’m a fan of VVA (Primary Reasonable Application): When I buy something, I examine it before use—in this case, before installation.
