Finally booted my lodger out so I can crack on with my new bathroom.........

I know a few guys on here have done the same recently so wondered if anyone has a recommendation for an online/retail outlet for bathroom suites!?! other than b&q MFI etc.

Cheers,
Dan

Bathstore........

Really nice and cool looking suites

foreigneRS

mine is still a work in progress

got my white goods from the bathstore in the sale and all taps and fittings from crosswater via a local builders merchant

cabinets are homebase, as is bath/shower screen

tiles from a local tile specialist and matching grout/sealer from another local specialist

just got a cheep bathroom set from BAQ and the plumber we used said it fitted really well and went out and bought one himself and hes bin a plumber for 35 years.

In all honesty.....you can get an average priced suite and put some really nice taps on it, and it will look expensive

http://www.ripples.ltd.uk/


no member of my family will benefit from you buying anything from that site.... honest lol

(although its not an online store, its the best place you can go for the gear )

Thats my plan Tiff.

Bathstore is VERY expensive imo. What I have now is complete tat so anything is an improvment lol.

Anyone seen http://www.victoriaplumb.com/ ? Really impressive prices.

ps. Tiff - whats your call out charge to Dunstable? :P

and fucking expensive,

victoria plumb, they do have a few bad reviews online if you search, more parts missing or broken and them taking ages to replace with me onesm, but quality seems ok not the best but the prices are very good. I see you agree bath store is very expensive, most of the gear is made in the same place, or atleast its exactly the same, bathstore don't even hold stock at out local place and some gear was about 3 times the price of victoria plumb.

spot on,

try "Bathstore.com" for V.good ideas, We use "Stuart plumbing" for service and price (local to us Narborough/Hinckley), "Travis perkins" have a decent range at prices you can beat them down on(trade accounts)

and Porcelanosa if you have more money than sense, SOoooo over prices its unreal, how do they trade?!?!? Good for ideas though... £1500 for a shower rose anybody

simhopper

try your local pts store, do resonable prices bathroom packs with branded suite and taps

top brands i would recommend as i install ££££ bathrooms for a living

if money is no option el bagnio

vitra,duravit.twyfords also make resonable priced suites

fuzzy

nothing wrong with B+Q warehouses for big selections at cheap prices.

morcheen

just got about 50% off today from the builders merchant my brother works at.can't beat staff discount

Make sure you ask Christian (Christain and Beccy) for advice on bath panels. Apprently they can get them really cheap

Yep, Only the cost of a months mortage, the ideal way to spend your money if you are struggling to make ends meet apparently

Infact, ask Christian ANYTHING to do with DIY and he will have a fully comprehensive answer!

Hell, half his post count is to do with DIY

When I had my bathroom redone just before Christmas I looked around and ended up getting my suite from B&Q, they start at about £130 for the crappy "shell" cheap suite, I think I paid £680 for my suite, seems pretty good quality. Added a Mira shower too.

wats wrong wiv b n q like, they own screwfix too

Stu.H

B&Q did my old loom which the previous owner decided to use as his choice of manufacturer

Which had to be promptly replaced
