New bathroom - where is cheap ???

VixxAnn

Hi
we are just about to start work on re-doing our bathroom - new suite, new flooring, total new redecoration.

Its only a small room and i don't have a fortune to spend :-[ just wondered if anyone could give me any good tips ...

Have looked at some loos and baths etc in B&Q - figured they are probably about the cheapest place to get them - is that right do you think?

any other advice most welcome

I went round all of the bathroom places and got all of my stuff from PTS. They're much cheaper then Plumbcenter and have a good range of branded sanitary ware.

If you buy from the DIY places you may find a lot of the cheap sanitary ware they sell is made in places like Portugal or some where and that the toilets don't flush very well.

Try small independents too, and screwfixdirect they can often beat most DIY stores prices.

Do you have near you Howden's Joinery. Not sure if you need a trade account. Try and get your partner to go in his working clothes. We had ours there but my husband is self employed. But I would definately give it a try.

We've had 2 from Focus - actually made by Jacuzzi, for them (no bubble jets in ours though). Watch for their offers giving £150 ish off, on different models.All the taps n stuff are included, too - watch out for some places adding this on AFTER!!

& if you're newly moved in - 6months - you get an extra 10% discount card there, too.

Then I'd say Wickes.

hen homebase - on a 10% discount day.

Howdens DO require a proper trade account - probably won't even give you an idea of prices, without one. Ask your plumber.

Travis Perkins (builders merchants) were keen to offer trade terms, to private customers - they provide a discount card & were pretty helpful, for materials on our extension.

Have fun!!

Recomend not speading less than £350 for a suite, and staying away from B&Q,cheap imported rubbish,dont forget you will have to live with your choice for a few years,so pay a little extra.
And make plumbers live,s a little better by not keeping us hanging around waiting for you to exchange the cheap plastic parts that are broken/missing when you buy from discount stores ;D ;D
