Does anyone know if pd credit back upgrades to taps, bathroom sink, tiles, and other small ticket items? i'm not sure you will get a credit, i believe you just pay the difference in price from the std inclusions to the upgrade. Re: Porter Davis double storey 16Oct 18, 2016 12:49 pm [quote="Luinel"]Looking to build with pd and thinking of upgrading lots of items during color selectiom. Does anyone know if pd credit back upgrades to taps, bathroom sink, tiles, and other small ticket items? Small items not sure but for big stuff e.g flooring you get credit. Go to nearest PD display and ask the sales team and they will be able to help ya.
